Mixed Feelings About the Stay

clean poolsmall roomfaulty shower
The spa was okay, with a clean pool area.
My room was quite small (definitely smaller than pictured online). I had some trouble with the shower, as it seemed to spray water everywhere except where I needed it. The staff did not resolve this .
