We swam in the pool every day and the kids loved the slide, toys, and inflatables. The pool is situated in a stunning garden setting, which was lovely to relax in as well. Joy was a welcoming host who communicated quickly. We highly recommend this gem of a suite and will return ourselves! ##### Angela W.
