Friendly and welcoming.

Overall, we had a great stay. The rooms were comfortable and the shower was amazing. When we had any issues they were dealt with very promptly and without any fuss. Pity that the half board rate only related to their main dining room and not to other restaurants on the site. Great swimming pool although hard to get out of if you are a little weak. Breakfast was generous and had different offerings each morning which made for a nice variety. Not really a resort but a nice, relaxing place to be for a few days.
