    “Wat een prachtig hotel met prachtige kamers. We zijn een gezin met 3 kinderen (21,19 en 17 jaar) en hadden 3 kamers. Allemaal even mooi. Het zwembad was heerlijk, niet te warm, niet te koud. Je kon er fijn in zwemmen. Daarnaast een suoer leuke koffie / thee hoek waar ook elke dag wat lekkers stond ( pecan koekjes, brownies etc), allemaal vers gemaakt. Het ontbijt was heerlijk en je had genoeg keuze. Het hotel zelf leek wel een paleis. Het personeel was heel vriendelijk”
