adequate but Disappointing Details
limited space tv instructions
the location was convenient near the beach and restaurants.
The room i had was quite small. i found that there were limited spots for drying towels after a swim. also, i wish there were clearer instructions for operating the tv. Figuring it out took some time and was a little frustrating

pool view nesspresso machine clean towels delicious breakfast
my room overlooked the pool. a nesspresso machine was a good touch. clean beach towels were provided daily. the front desk staff helped organize our excursions. i was picked up right on the hotel. breakfast at the restaurant was delicious and huge.
i think pizza seemed like it was a frozen grocery store brand.

Breakfast contains many delicious options. the hotel restaurant has great lunch and dinner options. i like that the bar offers the full menu if the restaurant gets crowded. This provides an alternative and maintains service quality.
