I enjoy staying here because the check-in and check-out process is always quick and hassle-free. I also appreciate that the swimming pool rules are not overly strict compared to other places. However, I do hope the breakfast selection can be improved in the future, as I often come back here to unwind and take a break from busy daily life.

Booking online for triple room with pool view for 2 nights. Once check in they give us 2 twin bed with no pool view. Really disappointed.. really upset! They do give us extra bed instead changing our room. 😒 Breakfast just fine..the staff very friendly and my kids have a great time with swimming at the pool. The lesson...cannot trusted the online booking, better just walk in and you can choose what you want.
