While I enjoyed the booking in process, I had a fall in the bathroom as the floor was left wet, I did report it to Reception. Thoroughly enjoyed the pool. The receptionist was lovely.

Comfy rooms.
The room was very comfy and spacious. The outside could have used a good cleaning and the pool area had no chairs, lounges, or umbrellas. The rooms were much better than anticipated looking at the exterior.
