Very annoying and definitely not a full 5 star experience
Pros:

It’s nice tranquil place

Cons:

They were shooting for some Netflix show and had occupied the pool are for several hours blocking access for guests. Same with the restaurant. Wasn’t possible to turn off the light in the room due to a faulty light switch so had to cut power thru the fuse cabinet.
