excellent stay

friendly staff clean room superb food
I found the staff super friendly. They were helpful with directions and local recommendations. the rooms were very clean and tastefully decorated, with excellent facilities. i especially appreciated the comfy bed and the effective air conditioning in my room. the food was also superb, particularly the breakfast.
the shower was a little tricky to use. it was over a large, freestanding, deep, roll top bath, and the controls were a bit away. it made adjusting the water temperature slightly inconvenient.
