relaxing stay with fine views

pool viewcountryside viewcomfortable bedreally good serviceextended waiting
i stayed in a superior king or twin room. the room offered lovely pool and countryside views. the bed was comfortable and allowed for a good night's sleep (best sleep i've had for a long time). the staff were friendly and helpful, and the service was really good.
during my stay, i found that there was a set dinner time, and even then, i had to wait a while after a long drive. it was not desirable and took away from the overall dining experience.
