My stay at Hotel Relax had its highs and lows. The outdoor pool was a highlight, being large and well-maintained, but I found the deluxe room disappointing as it featured two combined single beds instead of one large bed. Additionally, the condition of the furnishings and the shower left much to be desired.

My stay at Hotel Relax was quite mixed. On one hand, I found the pool area to be large and well-maintained, which was enjoyable. But the deluxe room was a disappointment as it had two combined single beds instead of one large bed, and the furniture felt old and worn. Overall, while the hotel had some redeeming aspects, it didn't fully meet my expectations given the price.
