Pros:

The food was delicious and the staff were friendly.

Cons:

We paid for late check out. A cleaner came to our door knocking and calling through the door then proceeded to enter our room. 1.5hrs before it was our time to checkout. Very disappointing that the communication was so poor between house cleaning and reception.
