EXCELLENT stay, I'll be back!

spacious roomcomfortable bedsearly morning noise

The room was really spacious (a family suite!) and the beds were super comfortable. Blackout curtains were AMAZING. I slept so well. The balcony overlooked the pool and had nice chairs. The pool area featured lush, well-kept gardens.

The health club was just a closed jacuzzi and sauna. The noise overnight was a little much. It sounded like furniture was being moved at 7 AM. This woke me up.

The hotel is in a quiet area and the grounds are quite beautiful. Transportation to the beach is convenient because there is a shuttle. It allows easy access to the coastal area and reduces any walking distance.
