delicious foodpretty gardensunny balcony
I liked the breakfast buffet. There were many foods available. Everything tasted delicious. I enjoyed the garden. It had many trees to relax under. I enjoyed the balcony. It allowed me to see the sea and the mountains.
The bar charged very expensive for drinks, it forced me to drink outside the premises.
