An absolute dream!
Pros:

The location was peaceful and convenient. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was nice. Very clean and well-kept. The pool was immaculate. The beds were extremely comfortable. Loved staying here and would definitely stay again. Bravo!

Cons:

The walls were very thin; everything said in the room next door was very clearly understood in our room, vice versa. Also, the ground floor window was eye level with the pool, so everyone swimming or walking by had a clear view into our room, or the curtains had to be drawn with no overhead light, and the room was very dark that way. Would recommend some sort of tint or reflective surface on these windows.
