What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Fantastic Kids Club!

Our experience at the hotel's kids club was absolutely amazing! Each day our son was excited for the different activities they had planned, running from 10 AM to 4 PM. Pielanie and Shanteli were incredible, going above and beyond to make sure the kids felt special. They even invited our son each night for movie night complete with popcorn and a KitKat treat. This allowed us to relax knowing he was safe and entertained.

After a few days of exploring, this spa treatment was just what I needed to recharge. I left feeling pampered and rejuvenated.
