Really good Stay!

rooftop poolluxurious roomsnew partlovely staff
The staff was SUPER lovely and helped me with EVERYTHING. I stayed in the new part, fantastic. The rooms were very luxurious and the rooftop pool was AMAZING. I also used the gym. It was very good for a hotel.
The buffet food was just ok with meats that were always very tough in most dishes.. I found the dining room noisy and a bit hectic.

The hotel staff stated there was no nightclub called Lavo though it was advertised on their website. Our room had a nice balcony however it lacked seating. I did not enjoy the dinner buffet. I also did not enjoy the breakfast buffet. I recommend planning to eat outside the hotel.
