missing foyerlukewarm dishes
The absence of a dedicated foyer was quite noticeable. There was no designated area to sit, read, or wait for assistance from reception. The room window handle detached when closed and there was no full-length mirror. There was no UHT milk, so making tea was impossible. The food in the dining area was also a problem. I found the dishes lukewarm.

Mixed Feelings About the Stay

lovely ocean viewsweak water pressurelimited natural light
The food was good and the ocean views were lovely I thought.
The shower water pressure was very weak I was disappointed. I found a clump of hair on the bedroom carpet upon arrival it was off-putting. the room had a very small window so natural light was limited I felt.
