Exceptional experience
Pros:

Everything, especially the garden view was superb, there's just something about nature that is an eye catcher.. The food was exceptional, the space inside the room was 100%

Cons:

Only thing I didn't like was that I booked in winter so I couldn't swim at that amazing pool😭 nd the beach was so clean I couldn't swim there either because it's winter now 😢
