Had a problem with the AC of the room not cooling. So we were sweaty the whole night while we are sleeping. Breakfast was supposed to be available at 6AM but they start opening at almost 8AM. You have to make your own pancake too which is why the line in the breakfast area was too long.

Having the main door blocked was inconvenient but understandable and there weren't many towels in the pool area. Great stay otherwise.
