The room was very cold when we entered. We turned on the heater on the wall but it blew cold air. We tried turning the two dials every which way. We thought we had it as warm air came out but it didn't last. My daughter went to reception to get assistance and was told to do something with the dial, which she did. Again it worked for a few minutes then cold air again. I phoned reception and he came to the room. He then turned the temp knob to a different place than what he told my daughter. Again it worked for a few minutes, then not so much, so we gave up. We went to sleep wearing our socks and my daughter wore her hoodie. It never did warm up very much. Obviously the heater needs to be fixed or replaced. This was room 30. On a positive note, the room was clean and the beds were comfortable.

The property is clean with a very large area to sit and enjoy the sun. Beds were extremely comfortable. Check-in was quick and easy with friendly staff that actually take the time to speak with you. I wasn't a fan of the shower. Older shower heads
