decent stay, some issues
great view friendly staff homey feeling lack of privacy toilet privacy open bathroom
i loved how the room opened to the deck and swimming pool. the views were great from there. the staff were friendly and location was quite good. i also appreciated the homey feeling.
the lack of privacy with the toilet was an issue for me. there was no privacy from my partner at all. the toilet is in the bathroom, and the bathroom is open to the bedroom with just a blind between.
