plunge pool poor service

The breakfast was good. There was an array of buffet options available.

The website advertises a small indoor swimming pool, but it is not a swimming pool, it is a plunge pool. Bar staff were more concerned with talking to each other, this did not provide good customer service. I ate in the bar one evening, a waiter could not answer my queries about the menu and I waited over 40 minutes for my order. This is unacceptable.

The spa area could be better. The pool needs jacuzzi buttons. The steam room needs an activation button.
