balcony viewbuilding works
our room was a bit of a letdown , especially since we booked a balcony room. it was advertised with both a bath and a shower , but there was only a shower. also , the balcony was supposed to have a view of the church and gardens , but instead , we mostly saw building works and the side of the church. the noise from the builders started early , around 7:30am , even though we were told they shouldn't start until 8am.

superb stay!

the beautiful room was spacious and comfortable. the staff excelled, responding quickly to all requests. i particularly enjoyed the well kept pool with the comfortable loungers. the lemon slushy machine at the gym was a refreshing touch after my workout.
I noticed limited tv options. Netflix was unavailable . it would be great to have more streaming options available.

Breakfast included a varied menu. The pastries were tasty and fresh. lunch at the cloisters restaurant was great, and the staff offered excellent service there. there was a minor wait between courses during dinner, but the food was AMAZING!!!
Service

the front door staff were cute, and the service was efficient throughout the hotel. i had to request a beer by the poolside. i received it eventually after the staff member checked to see if it was possible to serve drinks there.
