fresh flower flower displays spacious room air conditioning air conditioning shower head
I stayed in a beautiful sea facING twin room. The room was very comfortable and quite spacious. I ESPECIALLY loved the fresh flower displays throughout the hotel.
My biggest issue was the lack of air conditioning. The room got VERY hot. I also found that the shower head pointed straight down.
