I adored the breakfast. It had a variety of options. alex made smoothies, and they were amazing!!! the location was near shops, beaches, and restaurants, which i really liked. the outside sitting area amongst the trees was beautiful.
The room felt stuffy. There wasn't much fresh air. a small fan was available, but there was no air conditioning. the bathroom lacked an extraction fan. It was a slight inconvenience.

Mixed feelings about this stay
cramped roommeager breakfast
The room felt quite cramped. I booked a double room. The ventilation was poor. There was only a small fan. No air conditioning was available. These issues made the room uncomfortable. The shower setup was awkward and could be hazardous for some. I found the breakfast rather meager, requiring me to request eggs on the first day. THE sausages were not kept warm either.
