The resort's design was lovely and really excellent. The location worked well. A shopping center across the street added convenience.

The layout and decoration in room 205 were slightly less appealing compared to room 206.

I had a Resort King Room. The room design was great, with a handy iron and even ironing equipment. The TV provided excellent entertainment.

The walls were very thin, allowing some noise from neighboring rooms to be heard.
