The stay here was incredible. All the staff were extremely accomadating, the facilities were top notch and the breakfast buffet 10/10 (I'd recommend paying extra for it if booking here). A big thank you to the Manager Sara and other employees such as Ousamane and Solafa who made the experience that extra bit special.
