We stayed in a studio room. The bed was good & linen & towels & good to have the kitchenette. We were a bit disappointed in the overall offer. There are no onsite dining/cafe options so just the pool area. The room felt a bit small compared to other places we have stayed and some of the facilities were a bit worn. Overall it was expensive for the quality
