lovely stay near the water

fresh waternearby walksair conditioning

The breakfast was excellent. i appreciated the fresh water and biscuits in the room each day, that was a nice touch. my husband loved the open swimming pool, so he swam a lot. it was good that there were opportunities for nearby walks. We took advantage of that.

i found the temperature in the room quite hot, and there was no air conditioning available, it was not comfortable. this was a bit of a letdown in comparison to other aspects of my stay. the absence of air conditioning made it a little difficult to regulate the room's climate.
