the superior double room sea view was amazing. i was so happy to see a mini-fridge and a safe in my room. the hotel's proximity to the national park was a real plus!!!
I noticed that only two pools were open, and i wished more were available. the evening entertainment was seriously lacking, with only one singer . the restaurant often had cold food. That was really disappointing.
