    Very pleasing stay and good value for money. Worthy of 5 stars in terms of service & quality. Just one remark in regards to the AC, it was too hot and couldn't adjust the temperature. The Ipad is a special touch and found the information provided useful. You can control the lights/Curtains/TV with the ipad but couldn't get it to work.…
