a good stay with some issues

multiple pools helpful staff high deposit shuttle bus

this hotel included multiple pools. the kids enjoyed the activities. the staff at reception, the kids club, and the pool were helpful. they were also courteous.

the wristbands required a €25 deposit per person. this meant paying €100 upfront for our family. i found this strange. the advertised water park involved additional costs and shuttle bus waits.
