The spa had a serene garden. It was an oasis. natalia gave me a full body massage with perfect pressure. my wife enjoyed a pregnancy massage. Natalie ensured product safety. the relaxation room was very calm after the treatment.
the air conditioning did not work properly . i woke up in a pool of sweat because the room was stuffy. i had an unpleasant night due to this issue.

The location was GREAT and walkable to many places. The breakfast was also good.
The room I booked, a "cosy double room," was shockingly small. There was barely enough space to move around the bed. the bar service was slow. It took a long time to get a simple drink.
