i found the staff helpful. they were attentive, but also relaxed and friendly. i appreciated being met at the airport (very convenient) and welcomed by name upon arrival. this made a great start to my holiday.

i observed that the room looked smaller compared to others. it felt a little overcrowded with furniture, impacting the available space. additionally, i noted the absence of an extra bed (which would have been useful).
