Absolutely Great Stay!

fresh fruits clear views attentive attendant
I found such good food for breakfast! They had a crazy selection of fresh fruits. The room itself included a balcony with clear views. The service near the main pool impressed me the most, I found attendants very attentive and quick.
The gym had a couple of older machines and I think could really use an update.

The gym offered three treadmills plus two stationary bikes. I used them all. The pool area provided twenty loungers and a shaded section so I could relax comfortably. My room included two separate sinks along with a rainfall shower. That was great.
The elevator music was repetitive though it was quite faint.
