10/10 Excellent

"Great location and central. Across from beach. Issues with moths they were everywhere and cockroach in our bathroom. Some of the light switches and power points didn’t work in our room. But the room looked to be recently renovated, service was great. Pool wasn’t really heated as indicated and didn’t like location of sauna inside woman’s bathroom nor that they were separate to men’s. Coukdnt have a sauna with my husband. Kids activity room was spacious and good activities. North bar menu could be expanded on a bit more too."
