Very poor, staff made no effort, generally run down, claimed fine dining restaurant was anything but. Spa was not impressive and staff inattentive - playing on their phones. Glad we only stayed one night.

The only redeeming quality was the thermal spa. The room had bugs in it. The property had litter on the walking paths. The staff was not great at the Terrace eatery. The food was just okay. Would not recommend
