Great room!

Room is great. Would go as far to say as looked better than the photos which is rare. Only downside was that there is no mini fridge which was disappointing. But would for sure stay again if I’m in the area!

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The property location was beautiful. Our room only had one bed in it, we had 2 adults and a child, staff did bring a fold out bed down after requesting. The bed was small, the mattress was very thin which meant you could feel the wooden slates, therefore resulted in a poor night sleep and bad back. In the bathroom there was red stains on the wall, the wash gel had nothing in. The towels had signs of staining. The bedding also had a stain. Swimming pool was good
