The breakfast included a varied selection that was well presented. The pool and gardens were lovely. Plenty of sunbeds were available. Pool towels were readily available at the hotel reception. I found the staff at reception very pleasant.
The hotel is accessed via a road next to the water factory. I had to pass pallets of empty water bottles.
