unusable wifi ineffective air conditioning
the staff were friendly, though i did not have much interaction.
The advertised wifi was almost unusable, constantly dropping the connection. i had difficulty sending emails. also, the air conditioning in the room was ineffective. It barely cooled the space, and i ended up having a restless night because of the heat.

I found the menu communication lacking. my very delicious meal ended up costing twice as much as i thought. The employee wasn't very friendly, either. it was quite an unwelcome surprise after a long day.

a good culinary experience
sourdough bread attentive service scrambled eggs
The dinner included sourdough bread and fig oil. Breakfast featured masterfully done scrambled eggs on toast. The staff offered attentive service, one of the best services i've ever seen.
The pool, while lovely, I found to be a bit cold for swimming. I believe the heating system may need adjusting.
