The kids club kept our children entertained. It was good, even when it was quiet, because it was off-season.

The breakfast buffet was quite extensive. It had lots of variety.

The room I booked, a Sapphire Retreat Twin, was not up to par. The shower was particularly disappointing. The water pressure was weak. some of the tiles in the bathroom had noticeable stains. I expected better maintenance for the price I paid..

poor viewweak coffee

The view from my room was frankly disappointing. i booked a sapphire retreat twin and expected something a bit more inspiring than what i got. also, the breakfast buffet, while extensive, seemed to lack a certain finesse. The pastries tasted like they had been sitting out for a while, and the coffee was rather weak.
