Nice and comfortable

Great location and a very nice hotel, a little expensive but the room was nice and the bed was soft and comfortable. Restaurant had a great menu with good food though the breakfast was mostly local and not what we're use to from North America. But you can always have an omelet and bacon. A little disappointed there was no fridge in the room, would have been nice to have some cool water and the tv signal was spotty and a bad picture but you could still watch a movie. I will stay again but only for short stays because of the cost.
