i found the design of the hotel quite fun it had a certain playful vibe. the staff was helpful especially with local recommendations. the room was clean and the bed, while firm, suited my preference.
the pool area felt a little crowded there weren't enough loungers for everyone. i noticed some wear and tear in the hallways the carpets had stains. the breakfast buffet felt a bit overpriced considering the limited selection.
