The breakfast was buffet style and there were plenty food for all types. The staff were all young and helpful. The rooms were clean but very basic and there waa no fridge. The meals were very nice for dinner time and the drinks were hotel prices as expected. The pool, sauna and jacuzzi were very clean and the morning times was quite quiet.
