Good Getaway

friendly staffclean facilitiesextensive selectionlimited choice
The staff greeted us warmly and provided immediate access to our room upon our early arrival. I found the facilities very clean. Breakfast offered an extensive selection each morning. The pool area provided a relaxing experience with its well kept changing rooms.
the dinner menu offered limited options. This made it difficult to find a satisfying meal. I hope for a better selection in the future.

fresh optionscomfortable roomrestaurant policyunhygienic situation
The breakfast offered a superb selection of fresh options. I particularly enjoyed the cooked breakfast I ordered, it came out very fast. The room was comfortable, so I got a good night's sleep.
I noticed there were no dogs allowed in the restaurant. I thought this was unhygienic, especially when I saw some owners give food from their plates to their dogs. I believe dog lovers should be more considerate of others, because having a dog sniffing around while eating is not very pleasant.
