Could only order the 2 for one cocktails in a certain bar but you could then take them in the other bar after!? Made no sense. Decor is very dated. Food was very good from restaurant. Jacuzzi was out of action again. Was an ok stay but would not return

Enjoyable stay but mattress had seen better days
Lovely location. Super lovely staff. Great buffet breakfast. Rooms are beige but nice. Bathrooms in good condition. Lots of space. Quiet AC. Lots of storage. Big downside was the bed. Lumpy and uncomfortable. A shame because everything else was more than adequate.

Hotel is in a good position, easy access to major roads, yet set in lovely countryside. Rooms were spacious and clean, comfortable beds. However, the cost of our room did not match quality of service provided and our stay was mared by patronising, brusque and dismissive communication by some members of the team.
