The breakfast was GREAT!!! There was a wide selection of choices and everything tasted fresh. The service was great too. The team was pleasant and attentive to every detail.
My room had two single beds instead of the double bed I booked. The shower also was not inviting. It was really dirty. So, I could not enjoy a good shower before bed.
