6/10 Good

Staff were so kind, friendly and attentive. The food was really nice too but the bed was the most uncomfortable thing I’ve ever slept on.. it was rock hard and has left my back in a bad way. Be more comfort on a concrete floor. Should start putting in the email itinerary for guests to bring ibuprofen to protect their backs.
