Pleasant place

The hotel itself was lovely and staff were great. The only downside we found was that our air con was very noisy almost sounded like running water and the blankets were extremely large and heavy to sleep in but other than that it was lovely.

Nice clean hotel, beds are small. Requested a travel cot for baby was given one that had uneven wooden slats as a base. Asked Maria at reception for a mattress for travel cot not given it, therefore baby had to sleep in bed with us. Uncomfortable 2 nights sleep.
