i enjoyed the fitness club, i have been a member for years. it improved a lot since the manager took over, that is a huge plus. the aqua classes are great. i want to mention the yoga and pilates instructors who are among the best i know.

the balcony had wood panelling. it was not in great shape. a lot of cobwebs and debris covered it. i think they can easily improve that.
