Lovely hotel, great amenities

clean room fluffy towels complimentary water
The room was super clean and cozy. Air conditioning kept the room at a perfect temperature. We enjoyed the complimentary bottled water in the chilled fridge. The large, fluffy bath towels were definitely appreciated after using the pool.
I found that skimmed milk was not available during one breakfast service, slightly inconvenient for my dietary needs.
