Great location but average room.
Somwhat chaotic checkin but with a phone call all was settled. Room was ok though a bit small. The kitchenette was crammed in one corner. Lack of A/C was an issue with sun beaming in the north faci g window. The ceiling fan wasnt up to the task. Bathroom was very clean and the bed was comfy and had excellent sheets and pillows. Nice grounds and pool. Quiet area.
