"The breakfast offered a wide variety of options and was delicious. The room was clean and organized, and the bed linens and towels were in good condition. The only issue is that the rooms do not have microwaves. To warm up our baby’s milk, we had to go to the floor where the pool is located. The pool is small, and when we went swimming, there was still some algae residue in the water."
