breakfast variety milk refill
I was not happy with several things. The breakfast lacked variety. The same options was daily. I had to ask multiple times for tea bags and milk. No one refilled them even after I mentioned it often, a frustrating experience. We loved the pool. but the view was amazing!

convenient location quick eggs many beds peaceful atmosphere
The hotel had a convenient location. It was a short walk to the river for the ferry to the beaches. The outdoor pool provided many beds. Towels were available from the spa. The breakfast offered plenty of choice, and eggs were cooked quickly on request. I appreciated the great service and the peaceful atmosphere.
There was not a lot of storage space for clothes in the room. I missed an information pack too.

adequate stay, some issues noticed

short kettle lead pigeon problem
I found a few things less than satisfactory. the kettle's lead was too short. I had to put it on the floor to use it. (a minor inconvenience, but still.. ) pigeons were also a major issue. they were all over the balconies and used the pool as their personal watering hole, leaving quite a mess. the staff tried to clean, but it seemed like a constant battle they couldn't win.
