beautiful designfantastic foodbroken bathloud music
The layout and design are just beautiful, i swear. The food was amazing. i also couldn't eat spinach so the kitchen asked if i wanted a replacement, and i chose tender stem broccoli. They were so kind. there was a gym, though i didn't have energy to use it after the swim. The pool area was very nice and has a hot tub next to the pool.
The steam room wasn't working and that was a shame, though. the room i got smelled like it was full of dust! there was also blood in the bath and it was broken! i didn't have sleep because of loud music, i complained to night staff, who also laughed when we complained. I did tell the morning staff too, but i'm not sure they cared.

The breakfast buffet included many options, and I found all the food to be cooked well. I especially enjoyed the full breakfast and the cheese board!!! The location was great. I also found it easy to collect my boots from lost hotel the next day, which I really appreciated.
My room was noisy. I could hear people banging and talking in the adjoining rooms until the early hours. I found that the walls were really thin. I did not sleep well.
