The property boasts a clean and inviting pool area, along with a cozy garden, making it a pleasant escape. The staff are accommodating, and the internet connection was reliable. However, there are significant noise issues from nearby restaurants that make for poor sleeping conditions, and the breakfast options were quite limited. Additionally, the presence of cockroaches was rather unsettling, and the housekeeping could use some improvement.
