Would have been 5 stars for staff but the person at the reception judged my husband and I based on our size with the room we had booked and there was a dead mouse in the pool but overall the bed was soft and the room was clean! The cleaner is amazing and it’s located between 2-10 minutes of everything! Highly recommend despite a couple of issues. We would stay there again.
