The rooms were cozy and offered a lovely view of the courtyard pool area, although there were minor noise disturbances and some plumbing quirks. The location was perfect, being close to several restaurants and shopping spots. Overall, the dining experience was a pleasant surprise with a modern, vibrant restaurant that I highly recommend. However, the shower could be a bit cramped, and the air conditioning was slightly noisy at times.
