- Connecting rooms are available — a practical option for families of 5+ or trips with grandparents.
- Some rooms include sofa beds, which usually count toward the room's stated occupancy.

4.5/5Simply divine, 12/10 stay.
Liked: Fantastic location and beautiful facilities. This place has everything you need to spend a divine holiday that you will remember for the rest of your life. I will greatly come back again.
Watch out: The only point I would mention is the price of all services, everything has to be purchased, if you buy a holiday package you don’t have a full access to all restaurants.
