loved my stay

the staff were super friendly. the breakfast selection offered many freshly cooked options.. so delicious! the pool area was also very well maintained and managed. i enjoyed a lovely walk around the large hotel.
the wardrobe light would not turn off because the door didn't close properly. i felt the maintenance could be improved. also, the sink in my room didn't drain properly, inconvenient.
