The suite is spacious with lots of room for a family and games, books, and streaming services to keep everyone entertained. We swam in the pool every day and the kids loved the slide, toys, and inflatables. The pool is situated in a stunning garden setting, which was lovely to relax in as well. Joy was a welcoming host who communicated quickly. We highly recommend this gem of a suite and will return ourselves! ##### Angela W.
