Bed bugs with a nice pool

We got bit by BED BUGS which completely ruined the stay for me. This is very is very disappointing since it’s $200+ a night. I had to leave two personal pillows and a nice blanket because I didn’t want to bring bugs home. The bed was comfy. The standard bathroom is very small. The pool was great; it is 3-6ft deep. Temperature well regulated. Did not smell c like chlorine! They had great ventilation in the pool area. No hot tub. Take your own swim towels. The swim towels provided are the size of hand towels.
