We had a wonderful stay, a great night's rest and a delicious breakfast.
Pros:

The air-conditioned room could not have come at a better time. The bed is really comfortable, and we had a fantastic night's rest, followed by a delicious breakfast the next morning. Thank you to a wonderful hotel.

Aircondition very noisy (needed earplugs), room very dark, little terrace in front of the room hasn’t been swiped for a while, not enough plugs, breakfast varies widely from very basic to filling buffet, food in restaurant nothing to write home about.
