the location near the beach proved acceptable.
The bathroom had a strange odor that staff could not resolve. also, i found the dinner options quite limited in choice and availability. i expected more variety and extended hours for dining. It impacted my plans and enjoyment a bit. the timing for dinner felt restrictive.
