For my husband and myself our garden suite opened on to a small patio area with one sun bed, a table and 2 chairs and over looked a narrow area of grass and then the back of other accommodations. Not quite a garden! The accommodation was very dark and lights had to on most of the time. The front entrance overlooked the pool. The pool and surrounds were lovely, with few quests plenty of sun beds if needed. We had no hot water in the shower or wash basins, temperature were 35+ so not essential, but remained the same for 3 days. The bar in the Hotel which was cooler in the hot circumstances did not open until 7pm, pool bar available until then, and "Happy Hour" was from 8pm until 9pm. This may have been the reason that most of the guests ate out in the evening and my husband and I had quite a lonely meal at 8pm in a very big dining room with a buffet that had been ready since 7pm. The staff were welcoming and friendly.
