Positive: The apartment room we stayed in was so nice! Very modern and clean. Perfect for the two of us. It was bigger than expected. The staff were super friendly. Everyone was really nice. We made good use of the table tennis and even had a meal in the kitchen. The pool is nice and refreshing.
Negative: We liked everything!
Summary: Friendly stay!
