Acceptable stay with a few issues

rooftop swimming poolamazing viewshelpful reception staffstale breakfast breadcleaning issues
I discovered a rooftop swimming pool with excellent views! I liked that it was right near my room. The reception staff was very helpful. They addressed all my questions quickly.
The breakfast bread seemed a bit stale and low quality. The restaurant service was slow and food quality inconsistent. My octopus dish had some cleaning issues. It was disappointing.
