Adequate stay

beautiful decor private seating area great breakfast limited minibar small pool unappealing playroom
the room was spacious , it included beautiful decor and a private seating area outdoors. i enjoyed the convenient adjacent restaurant. breakfast was great and the garden must be mentioned once.
i found certain drinks were complimentary , however the minibar was limited. the pool seemed small, i noticed it lacked a dedicated filter. the playroom did not appeal to me, so i did not use it.
