Fantastic Family Stay!

spacious roomcomfortable bedgreat wifidiverse breakfast
Our family room in the play wing was spacious with a main bed and dividing doors to the children's rooms. The main bed was soft and comfortable. Air conditioning and wifi worked perfectly. I appreciated the large selection at breakfast each morning with fresh cooked eggs, pastries, salads, local cuisine, juice and coffee.
The open bathroom in the room, with large sliding doors instead of walls, left the whole space a bit damp after showers.
