Balanced experience

friendly staff prompt service swimming pools small room faulty remote broken light
I found the staff friendly. their service was always prompt and courteous. i also appreciated the variety of facilities available, especially the swimming pools and games area. They provided ample opportunities for relaxation and fun.
My room was rather small. the tv remote was not fully functional. the light above the mirror was also not working. This made grooming a bit difficult.
