Overall, my stay was enjoyable with spacious rooms and a fantastic walk near the resort that kept my kids entertained. While the kitchen and bathroom were newly updated, some areas felt a bit dated. The service was hit or miss; while some staff were very accommodating, others were noticeably rude. The nature surroundings were a highlight, but it could use some cleanliness improvements.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the grounds were beautiful and the staff were genuinely welcoming, the room didn't meet my expectations due to heating issues and safety concerns for small children. I really appreciated the prospect of their bar and restaurant opening soon, but the dining options were limited during my stay. Overall, I found it to be a decent value, especially with the promise of improvements in the future.

The room was a bit chilly, and the heating seemed to have a mind of its own. It had two single beds and no door, which made it quite unsuitable for my little one due to safety concerns with the stairs.

The hotel has a lovely setting, surrounded by nature yet close enough to the bustling town center. While the room size was decent, I found some cleanliness issues that detracted from the overall experience. The service was hit or miss, with some interactions being very pleasant while others left much to be desired. The amenities, especially the thermal heated area and hot pools, were certainly a highlight, offering great relaxation options.

The hotel is located in a peaceful suburb, making it a great spot for relaxation while still being near attractions like the Spa Park. The amenities provided were just what I expected, although I found the rooms were not as clean as I had hoped and lacked air conditioning in the upstairs areas. Overall, it's a decent place to stay with some room for improvement in cleanliness.
