My stay included a really comfortable bedroom, it had everything I needed for the night. The food in the bar and restaurant was nice and breakfast tasted the best I've had for a while.
I found the air conditioning a bit of a problem. The staff seemed to not be in control of it and it was either too cold or too warm
