Thermal pools were great
Was nice, warm comfortable. Modern and quite. Would happily stay again and recommend to others.
Big pool was just too hot, really nice pool but was set far to warm to use which was disappointing.
I loved everything kind and welcoming staff cleaners as well and I had a big room everything was easy to access. And a great deal for 4 days
There was nothing I didn't like I enjoyed it
Warm, modern with everything we needed. Friendly staff. LOVED the heated pool!!! Cafe just around the corner was an added bonus.
So clean and tidy! Very easy to find your way around, and cute pool spots!
Great views of the lake, friendly helpful staff
