afternoon teainsect repellentserene poolhigh cost
The staff were wonderful. I enjoyed the complimentary afternoon tea with cakes on the veranda. I also found the body lotion with insect repellent in the shower room quite useful. The pool was serene, and relaxing by it was very enjoyable.
The cost of beverages was quite high. There are not a lot of choices nearby for alternative options.
