charming retreat

attentive staffluxurious featurescomfortable pool areaovergrown garden
my week-long stay included a wonderfully attentive staff. my room had luxurious features along with a comfortable bed. the immaculate hotel featured a very very comfy and tidy pool area. i also appreciated the close proximity to the beach and easily accessible transportation when i needed it.
i did notice the garden seemed a little overgrown, this made me notice an abundance of mosquitos. i was also slightly dissapointed with the lack of restaurant facilities outside of breakfast time.

A Mixed Experience

The room looked quite dated , and the carpet had some very noticeable stains. The shower wasn't draining properly , so water overflowed easily. This made showering an inconvenience. I also noticed that the television was really small.
