Thank you very much for the accommodation especially the room 28 which is our favorite room. We have really enjoyed the stay👍 but y if I can have only one suggestion that’ll be please get better shower head!! the one you have is none adjustable and the spray comes out like little needles… so if you can change the shower head in the future, that’ll be so so much appreciated….🙏 With love and respect Liam , Ava & Alex
