Daily cleaning. Laundry is included in the room price. The cook prepares incredibly tasty dishes. If you take half board - there is enough food, no need for a "buffet". The photos of the room and the territory are completely true. The director, Alex, is incredibly friendly and ready to help with all the questions we addressed to him. This is exactly what an ideal director should be. Overall, this is a fantastic hotel.
