Dinner
However, there are significant limitations. There is no on-site restaurant or bar-lounge, which means meals beyond breakfast are unavailable and guests must venture elsewhere for lunch or dinner. This lack of dining options is particularly inconvenient during the off-season when nearby places may also be closed. Additionally, the absence of a bar or small dining options around the pool leaves guests wishing for more amenities.
Given these points, many guests feel an on-site dining option, even if limited or available only by reservation, would greatly enhance their stay. Until such improvements are made, guests should plan ahead, especially during hot weather and consider transportation options to access nearby dining facilities safely.

Accessible
However, certain aspects may pose challenges for guests with limited mobility.
