Everything was good except for the bunk bed. Climbing up at 64 and getting out once in the middle of the night is quite an experience. For light sleepers, we were unlucky with noisy neighbors.🫤
the evening meal was very good and the staff attentive but with limited English. Car loading was poor as the staff insisted we park so close to the wall my passenger could not get out of the car on her side.
Alles was perfect in orde
