I had a lovely getaway at the resort that was peaceful and relaxing. The rooms were comfortable and quiet, providing a nice escape from city life. The dining options were quite impressive, especially breakfast, but there were a few inconsistencies in the dining experience. Overall, it was a good value for a weekend retreat.

I had a great weekend with friends, with a warm welcome at reception and friendly staff throughout our stay. The rooms were comfortable and spacious, with nice amenities. The pool area was perfect for relaxing, and the selection of activities kept everyone entertained. However, I was disappointed that spa treatments had to be booked in advance, and the reception service could have been better, as they seemed busy chatting rather than helping guests.

My stay at the resort was quite disappointing. The initial check-in process took way too long, and I felt completely ignored as I had to manage my own luggage since there was no lift. While the room itself was spacious and boasted a lovely garden view, the overall experience did not live up to expectations, especially with the dining options that left a lot to be desired.
Rooms

The room was spacious with a nice view of the garden, but it lacked phones, making it inconvenient to contact the reception.

The resort offers a serene environment with lovely amenities, and the indoor pools were a highlight. The rooms were neat and well-equipped, providing a comfortable stay. However, the breakfast options were limited and could use some improvement, especially for a four-star establishment. While the service was generally good, I felt the dining experience lacked variety and could be better managed during peak times.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the area by the river was pleasant for strolls. However, the dining experience left much to be desired, and the casino was in dire need of maintenance. Overall, it was a decent stay, but some aspects certainly need improvement.
