Furthermore, the wireless was completely incompatible with any smartphone or iPad: you couldn't even read a newspaper online that it would ask you to re-enter the complex username/password. The timeout is set in milliseconds instead of several tens of minutes.
Pretty basic stuff, but certainly crucial to a productive stay. Avoid this property unless you're on a bus tour (I counted four the night I was there). And yes, it's a haul from the airport itself (about 20 minutes).

I have now stayed 4/5 times at this property and everytime the internet has driven me mad. When I complain in reception, they say that I am the 1st one to complain(they cannot even remember that I have done it in every stay).
Shuttle - from MXP is not very good. I always have had to wait not less than 15/20'.
