The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast had enough choices (especially the omelettes!). The gym and spa were really good for my family and me.

The soundproofing in my room was poor. I clearly heard a couple arguing in their room between 3 AM and 4 AM. The pool was not open, even though the website mentioned it was open June to September. This was misleading.
