"Beautiful place. The rooms were huge and clean. The scenery out the window was so pretty. The staff were friendly. The only negative points was, 1. We were there early October and was still so hot but they had closed the outdoor pools for summer which was very unexpected. We had booked the place for the outdoor pool and 2. Location was away from the city centre so you need a car"
