Stellar WELLNESS & SPA 4 *
An avant-garde building with a spherical facade, located on one of the central streets of the city, is very impressive with an extraordinary view. But inside it is quite consistent with its name. Judging by the reviews of vacationers, they like the arrangement of rooms, equipping bathrooms, providing household items, cleanliness and order.
There are complaints about the rooms overlooking the street - city noise interferes. Hundreds of meters away is the famous Riviera Park, which is a real pleasure to walk through. Nearby is the embankment, where there is something to admire.
The disadvantage is the remoteness from the beach, although there is a b / n transfer there - with small children there is no problem getting to the beach. Swimming and swimming (especially for children) is possible in a very decent outdoor pool.
Most of the guests are satisfied with the breakfast buffet, the rich choice of dishes, and the quality of their preparation. The presence of children is taken into account when drawing up the menu.
