The room had its own patio area that was lovely. The jacuzzi bath in the room was perfect to unwind. Air conditioning worked very well.
The tea and coffee facilities were limited. Only a couple of teabags and sugars were provided. Purchasing additional milk was necessary, as only four sachets were available. There were no shops nearby which was a slight inconvenience

spacious roomslow servicebland risotto
the room was quite spacious, certainly acceptable.
The service was slow, and staff seemed detached. the risotto was bland and oily. My daughter could not eat it. the buttermilk chicken burger was unappealing in look and taste. It lacked any real flavour.
