Rooms were fantastic, beds were exceptionally comfortable. Food was fantastic , breakfast is great - really good selection I only have 1 complaint.. the pool area is very tired. it’s not like the pictures. It’s a small pool for size of hotel and there are only hard plastic chairs around it.

Very dissatisfied

Air conditioning cut off other electrical lights. Toilets do not flush well. The remotes to the TV did not work and had to be synced with TV. Was supposed to have 2 breakfast bags ready for our early departure - only to find out they never had them even though we paid for the breakfast. It was disappointing as this hotel looks very nice but is not up to par for the cost.
