i found plenty of sunbeds for use. the chefs took great care with gluten and lactose intolerances. they made special dishes when my wife needed something different. it was fun to see the monkeys around they were not bothering anybody.
the room lacked a tv. it was inconvenient. i prefer to have one available for news or shows.
