Reception very attentive staff, friendly and helpful. Restaurant for dinner was very busy and a bit more service training could be done. Waiting staff should be allocated tables to look after from ordering to finish, saves orders going missing but overall food and wine were good. Walking distance to airport so much better than catching a shuttle.
