The staff were very helpful, great. the pool and pool bar were fabulous. food choice was good. It was always hot when served and they tweaked our orders to perfection. breakfast had so many options. There was too much to choose from.
There was a very slight smell of fungus in the room. It was noticeable upon entering, but it faded shortly after.

Really good service and great facilities!

spacious roomdaily wateranti-slip matlimited sunbeds
The reception staff offered comprehensive details during check-in. The sixth-floor room was very spacious and clean (it was kept in excellent condition!). Bottled water was replenished daily. I found the anti-slip mats that the hotel provided quickly in the wet room shower to be very helpful.
I found the canal beach sunbeds had limited availability. This was especially noticeable during peak hours. I wish there were more for everyone to enjoy the beach comfortably.

The front desk swiftly printed QR codes. Staff provided attentive service at the Italian restaurant. At the poolside bar, Dilshan offered useful advice about the area. These service elements contributed positively to my experience.
