Weird that there is only one main light in the room.

Mixed: waterlodges and rooms with balconies praised, good mattresses noted, but recurring issues include missing shower walls (privacy), very compact rooms/kitchenettes with empty cabinets, lack of fridges in some rooms, and mattresses that slide or feel too soft.

Mixed sentiments as some beds were noted to be too soft and furniture outdated.
