The pool area had so many plants. It seemed like a true oasis. Breakfast offered a HUGE selection of delicious foods. I appreciated that the beach staff were cute and friendly.
The small tv screen in my room felt a little dated, slightly disappointing.

This hotel offers spacious rooms. The room included a separate sitting area. I noticed the grounds were beautifully maintained with lush greenery. The pool area featured several comfortable lounge chairs.
I found the television screen was small for the room size. The channel selection was also limited. The remote control did not have a clear guide. I needed assistance to navigate the system.
