Breakfast was like any other nothing really unique but I give it 3 stars. Wifi was stubbornly intermittent that's if you ever get connected so i give that 2 stars. There's an inside pool that looks decent to try and dip in I give it 3 stars. But what really got me annoyed was the little things you'd hope for like SLIPPERS!
