Fantastic Stay!

excellent service delicious food convenient access outdoor seating

The location is great. I found convenient access to many points of interest. The staff offered excellent service and attention . I especially enjoyed dining at the Tiki Village restaurant. The food was delicious. I really liked the outdoor seating areas. These areas at the back of the hotel provided a perfect spot to unwind.
