We had a superior room and found everything just ok. For the money we paid very disappointing for our honeymoon Lack of food as most things were unavailable, breakfast is congested in a way too small room. If you have any allergies nothing is notified on menu and staff advised to QR the menu which sent us to the main menu. Back to square one. Expected so much and be special and it just was not
