Very relaxing. Loved the pool even when it rained.
Pros:

As a Gluten Free person I suggest you offer wholemeal bread as well as white. For toast the waitress needs to know to cook the toast twice and serve it on a toast rack. It goes soggy very quickly!!!!
They finally served the toast well!!👌

Cons:

Initially the toast!!!!! Read the above!
