Very small room. Dresser taken almost with a liquor array, limiting space for personal items. Not interested in drinking I have never seen such a thing. No foldabe tray for my luggage. Bed comfortable. Pool and patio area lovely. Restaurant ok for breakfast.

See you again!

My one small tiff was that the patio lights do not turn off. Blackout curtains did most of the trick but if your sensitive bring a sleep mask and all is fine. Comfy stay, cute rooms and great staff. See you again!
