Positive: The place is beautiful as it shows in the picture. The staff are very friendly and accommodating.
Negative: Most of the time we didn't have water in the room due to the pipe burst they said. We only had one channel for the TV , which was supposed to ask at the reception to change to another, that was annoying.
