Too few mentions to judge: beds, room size, room condition, quiet at night, pool and value.

Unexpected charges and refunds3 of 1761 in 59 reviews
The only issue I experienced was that, apart from a glass of water, no drinks were provided at dinner; apparently, they were extra.

The reception wanted an extra charge for a child's bed even though a room for a couple plus a child was booked and paid for
