The breakfast had a great selection and quality. I ate dinner at the restaurant twice, and it had a good selection and great quality too. I'm happy the staff gave me advice on local places to eat, etc. I found nothing was too much trouble for them.

My room was hot and stuffy. I learned the air conditioning did not work. The control centrally was set to heat. Opening the window, I heard the extract from the swim pool right near the window. It was very noisy and it smelled of chlorine.
