4/5 - Good
Verified traveler
The Service in the restaurants (there are only 2 open in the winter) is unbelievably slow and inefficient. The food is excellent. A great place to go if the wether is nice.

9/10 Wonderful! (180 reviews)
Large clean room, comfy beds with high quality linens. We got the deluxe room which was very spacious, bright and has a large balcony. Only downside is that it is right on a busy road, but at night the traffic dies down and we didn’t even notice it.
