It was a great vacation! Lovely spa, unfortunately a bit fully booked so we couldn't book massages at short notice. The hotel is in a great location.

If you love flowers and nature, you will feel like in paradise here. The hotel was very clean, asked a great offer of sports activities, pools, massages and a very good culinary offer. Also, many languages were spoken here, so even questions about leisure activities were easy to clarify. The staff was very accommodating and also requested a transfer to the airport. There are so many ways to spend your free time here. In general, I was satisfied all around. Only to recommend!!!
