A Dreamy Escape

The balcony offered the most captivating sea view. The room smelled divine when I entered it. I found the bathroom spacious and clean as new.
I noticed the receptionist seemed a bit uninterested when I arrived. More enthusiasm would have been appreciated.

The staff seemed nice.
The furniture looked very dated. The patio door did not close properly, so I could hear other guests all the time. The breakfast was very plain and did not meet my expectations, there were no eggs or yogurts.
