a decent stay

banana bread fruit selection swimming pool unattractive beach limited options fatty items

the breakfast buffet offered a good selection. i found enough dishes i liked, including fresh fruit. the banana bread was especially good.. i liked the freshly made fried egg over toasted raisin bread. there was also a swimming pool available.

the beach was not overly pretty. half of the time it was empty because of the tide. i mostly ate fruit and a boiled egg because the rest included noodles and fatty items.
