The breakfast buffet displayed many delicious choices, i especially liked the green juice. our room had a balcony showcasing amazing views. I could watch the ocean. i discovered multiple food options. It was like pure romance with the clean, spacious room and comfy beds.
the lounge had many guests from a company group, and i tried to order a wine. the waiter explained they could not serve me, and blamed it on the bar manager. the night manager was not helpful and honestly rude.
