Excellent location and views
island viewreally good breakfast
Staff are great people. The hotel has the best views on the island. Breakfast is really good. I watched the sunset from the pool or terrace area every night.
The location is PRIME for viewing both sunrise and sunset. MY room was spacious and VERY clean. i thought the staff was friendly and professional. The breakfast was great too. I especially liked the views from my room.
i noticed the gym equipment seemed a little outdated. i was hoping for a wider variety, but it didn't impact my stay.
