Our double qn room was clean and very comfortable. The mini fridge was a nice bonus. But the thermal pools were the hit of the stay! Varied in temperature, clean and beautifully situated amongst the garden vegitation with well lit paths (for evening soaks). Staff are helpful and engaging. We would definitely stay again and recommend the hotel to friends and family. An incredible value for the price!
