Uncomfortable attic room with no...

Liked: Disappointing stay - not family friendly
Disliked: We had a very unpleasant experience staying here. We were given an attic room where the sloped ceiling was directly above the bed — making it extremely uncomfortable, especially when waking up to the sun shining straight into your face by 5 a.m. Despite the 4-star rating, the room lacked basic amenities like a fridge or even bottled water.The discomfort continued early each morning with loud lawn mowing, which disrupted any chance of rest. The bathroom was another issue — the hot water was scalding, with no way to adjust the temperature, so we couldn’t shower during our entire 2-night stay despite the 32°C heat.The location is also not ideal for families. The entire area is a golf course, leaving no safe or suitable place to walk with children. I was nearly hit by a golf ball while walking with my daughter.To be fair, the food was quite good, but that alone doesn’t make up for the many issues we faced. Unless you’re a golf and booze enthusiast, this place isn’t worth your money. Definitely not recommended for a relaxing or family-friendly stay.
