The hotel had a lovely garden with butterflies. The lifeguard was very helpful and offered advice about swimming. I also enjoyed tea time in the garden with fresh tea, coffee, and snacks. Staff made check-in efficient with flower garlands.
I noticed the hotel lacked safes in the rooms. This meant I could not lock valuables securely. A piece of jewelry went missing after cleaning.
