adequate stay with some drawbacks
insane viewspacious roomgood servicepoor ventilationshort toilet seatlong waiting
the pool was a highlight of my stay. it had an insane view and a lot of umbrellas were available. i also enjoyed the restaurant (especially the service). the room was clean and spacious.
some aspects require attention. the bathroom lacked proper ventilation (there were no windows). additionally, the toilet seat seemed too short. i also had to wait more than ten minutes in line for breakfast.
