Nice stay, lovely food in the restaurant.

Birthday trip- spa is extra 25 euro each so not included in your stay. Nice rooms big bed but mattress is soft had a great sleep but we both woke up with sore backs in the morning. Lovely food in the restaurant. Attentive staff super friendly Breakfast was good too try the burrito but fancier coffees are charged out at 4.15 extra I think this should be included in the price of your breakfast. Funky smell on the bottom floor hallway smells like a grease trap not sure what it is but could do with some air fresheners in mean time. Spa- more hot tubs needed you'll have to wait to get in one!
