the gardens offered privacy. the accommodations were discreetly hidden.
the half board was only good if i wanted lunch. i was told dinner was an option but, the staff corrected it to only lunch. the gym looks old and tired and the pool area felt crowded. there wasn't really anywhere to enjoy the sun near my room's pool.
