Debussy Suite, A Dream Come True!

large balcony roll-top bath marble flooring comfortable bed
We received an upgrade to the Debussy Suite. It was much larger than our bungalow and clean. We had a large balcony, and the lounge featured a sofa, two chairs, a big TV, a mini-fridge, a dining table with four chairs. coffee and tea amenities. The bathroom had a roll-top bath, a walk-in shower designed for two, twin sinks, and marble flooring.
The breakfast service was very slow, and the indoor health facilities need some maintenance. The steam room wasn't working properly.
