Acceptable stay with issues.

juice stationunwelcoming reception staffloud music
The breakfast offered many choices. This included stations for eggs, waffles, and fresh juices.
The reception staff seemed unwelcoming upon arrival. I felt they treated half-board guests as less important. Loud music from nearby party boats disturbed sleep until late hours.
