I appreciated the health suite! being outside in warm water while it rained was great. the staff were all so lovely. They couldn't do enough for me .

I found no dressing table in my room! i had to do my make up leaning over the bathroom sink. That was not ideal. the seating was generally uncomfortable, especially dining in low chairs in the bar.
