Fantastic Room and Excellent Food

I appreciated the friendly and helpful staff I met. The room was well presented with a high standard of decoration. The meal I had included steaks cooked exactly to my liking. The waitress service was first class. All the staff enjoy their work! The commitment makes for a fantastic stay.
I didn't realize I could get a discount in the shop. No one told me.

the room had a cool decor and a speaker. this made it much better than a standard hotel room. air conditioning was perfect for the hot weather and the beach was close. a drink area in the hallway was a nice touch. easy access was great throughout the day and night.
i thought i booked a room with a king size bed online. it was a king size room but it had a regular bed. the receptionist changed my room to one with a bigger bed. tea and coffee were in the corridor, not in the room.
