stylish room well-equipped bathroom friendly staff small room incorrect order tiny pool

the room was stylish and comfortable with a spacious, well-equipped bathroom. i had breakfast and dinner in the garden every day and the food was high quality. the staff were friendly and cute (they always had a smile).

The room i initially got was small and dark. I had it changed. i ordered a sandwich without cheese and it came with cheese. this. also, the pool is tiny. The pictures make it look bigger.

solid stay with specific perks

tasty croissants beautiful courtyard comfortable bed large balcony

the croissants at breakfast tasted great! the courtyard offered a beautiful setting for morning meals. i found the bed very comfortable, and every little detail seemed well-considered. i loved the suite i had, especially the biggest balcony which was all to myself.

the check in process felt a bit confusing. i think that clearer communication about the room readiness could improve the initial experience.
