decent stay overall

continental selection great breakfast cooked options kind staff musty smell stale linen bad coffee water shortage
the breakfast was generous. it included a great continental selection. cooked options were also available. the staff was very kind and cute. the room was lovely with a nice shower. i had a room next to the pool area.
The room had a musty smell from the humidity. the linen also smelled stale. the owner resolved this issue the following day. the coffee was not good. I found it rather disappointing, and a day without water was very annoying.

monotonous breakfast weak coffee
The breakfast lacked variety. There were no daily specials, and the options remained the same throughout my stay. This became monotonous. The coffee tasted weak. I require a strong brew to begin my day. I also found the lack of a dedicated workspace in the room problematic, and the desk provided was too small. It hindered my ability to address urgent business matters .
