Very comfortable but privacy on room and shower pressure could improve.
Pros:

The bed was very comfortable and so big! Everything was clean and neat.

Cons:

The water pressure and amount of water coming out of shower head wasn't great.
But it didnt spray in all directions so that was a plus.
The box you recieve your envelope with keys in should never have the room number you are in against your name, with other guests in the same place to collect theirs from, anyone can know what room you are in or just take it.

The interior I couldn't fault
Pros:

Bed was very comfy. Interior was nice and clean

Cons:

The broken chairs on the verandah. Most were broken and not in good shape. I wouldn't trust sitting on them. They made the accommodation look cheap and nasty. It may be better to just get rid of the broken chairs, asthetic wise. When exploring the property, I noticed other accommodation in other areas had much tidier looking exteriors with no broken furniture and much better quality. It made my stay a little upsetting, because I still paid good money
