friendly stafffree voucherspool redesigning

The staff was ALWAYS ready to help with a smile. I enjoyed the sky bar. It was open late during my weekend visit. I even received 2 for 1 drink vouchers upon arrival, one for each night of my stay. Breakfast offered many choices and looked beautiful too

The rooftop pool had very few sun loungers and only one sunshade. I think this area NEEDS redesigning. It felt awkward to get into the pool.
