Excellent Stay with minor hiccup

ocean views diverse options helpful staff

The refurbished room offered amazing ocean views. I found the location great and appreciated all available facilities. Breakfast had a buffet with diverse options. The staff was consistently professional and helpful throughout my stay. They were particularly helpful during the electrical blackouts.

I did notice the gym hours are limited. It only operates from 9 am to 3 pm, a little inconvenient.

Rooms

The room had daily fresh water and nespresso capsules for the machine. I found the sea view family room very spacious and excellent value. The newly renovated room had a beautiful view and modern design.
