loud padel courtmissing umbrellas
The retreat advertised an adult-only policy, but it was quite the opposite. MANY families with babies and children stayed. The padel court right next to the hotel was BUSY with players all day and night. The food tasted average. I found the lack of umbrellas by the sunbeds quite annoying..
