I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean with a lovely terrace, but having wet towels was a downside. The service was decent, though some staff members could improve. The location was peaceful with beautiful gardens, but being in the attached high-end A Terra restaurant was a bit pricey. The dining experience was satisfactory with typical local products, and the facilities were well-kept.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, located in a peaceful area with a geothermic experience. The rooms with a garden view and small terrace were lovely, and the breakfast under direct sunlight was a treat. However, some staff members lack experience in service, except for the attentive restaurant manager. The serene location is perfect for relaxation, but it's a bit secluded in terms of nearby restaurants. The dining experience with local products was delightful, but I wished for more variety. Overall, a great value for the facilities offered.
