My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The room, while spacious and overlooking the beautiful garden and swimming pool, lacked a bit of the wow factor in terms of furniture and decoration. The service was a mix of very helpful and attentive staff with a few poorly trained individuals. The location, accessed through the gardens with sunny parking spaces and stunning reception, was nice but slightly below the standard of the rest of the hotel. The dining experience offered a sumptuous buffet with cooked breakfast orders, which was commendable. The facilities provided were satisfactory, though there were areas that needed modernization and more attention.

I was delighted with my stay at the hotel. The suite I received was simply fabulous, exceeding my expectations with a huge bathroom, separate living area, and a bedroom overlooking the beautiful garden. An excellent value for the money, although the initial room was somewhat cold and impersonal with a hard mattress and no views.

My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were huge, clean, and comfortable, but I felt they lacked a bit of the 'wow' factor in terms of furniture and decoration. The service provided was attentive and highly professional, with the staff, especially Ana at reception, being friendly and helpful. The location was superb for visiting the cities and restaurants we wanted to explore, but it could have been a bit closer to the city center. The dining experience was very good, with a varied buffet and a lovely outdoor setting by the garden. The facilities offered at the hotel were satisfying, adding to the overall experience.
