No wander it is called Grand Hotel, what an amazing place and we were treated to stay there. The hotel, 2 story building with an old architecture, is at the end of a road (called Grand Hotel road) with a stunning garden around it. White fountain in the middle, flowers everywhere, green grass, topiary around the garden walls, trees to give you shade. 

The staff are all kind and smiley, the decor is dark wood and brown colour, with a modern twist to it, the rooms were spacious with big beds and high ceilings. We were lucky, for the second time in our traveling lives, to be given a presidential suite with two rooms, sitting room and a dining room and two en suit bathrooms! Kids were in heaven. We could have a bath after not having one for 5 weeks! Shame we were staying only 24 hours. Kids were excited at the space and were looking forward to play hide and seek! Don’t you worry, they didn’t play hide and seek!

The food was out of this world! For lunch we had an amazing buffet of mainly Asian food, for dinner – wow, you didn’t know where to look and what que to stand in so the cook can cook it for you! Just amazing spread with so many different salads in small pots and the deserts! There was no room at the inn! For breakfast – you could have whatever you wish as you can imagine (Steve – spicy omelette, real pork bacon and baked beans, twice!, pastry and a pot of tea – no milk, it is UHT and fresh milk is hard to get, Emilka bacon, sausages with baked beans, doughnuts and fruit,  Misa had two sponge cakes, bacon, sausages and eggs, and me, as always – fruit and yogurt to start with, bacon, tomatoes, egg and baked beans in the middle and coffee with pastry to round it off!) Now we should go on detox!

We were the largest group booking for 350 people they ever had and they coped extremely well. They are used to be full, especially at Christmas time. I am not surprised.
