I had a fantastic experience at the hotel, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made my stay truly enjoyable. The spa facilities, especially the thermal pools, were a highlight for me, providing a perfect way to relax after a day of exploring.

However, I did find the checkout process a bit awkward with multiple gratuity requests, which detracted slightly from the overall experience.
