unfriendly staffnoisy air conditioning
I must say, the breakfast service was a bit of a letdown. The staff seemed overwhelmed. Finding someone to assist was difficult. The orange juice tasted like it came straight from a carton, a shame considering the surrounding groves. the air conditioning made a racket all night.
