Solid Stay with Few Hiccups

beach-facing roompool areaprofessional staffcomplicated shower
I secured a beach-facing room. It featured a balcony that overlooked the pool. I found the pool area and lawn terraces refreshing after hiking. The staff was professional. The breakfast had many options.
I found the shower overcomplicated and hard to adjust. Getting the temperature and pressure right proved tricky. The bathroom needed updating. I wish the shower system was simpler to use.
