Overall Assessment

The facilities on the complex are good with multiple swimming pools, tennis courts and a games room being available. There are two nice restaurants and a coffee bar for relaxing in before dinner. The children’s entertainment is not great but with the Old Town being so close this isn’t usually a problem.
