The view from our room was amazing, could not be beat. Bed was comfortable, bathroom had everything we needed. Pools were nice but could have been a touch warmer for our liking. Dinner, drinks and breakfast all very good but above all staff and service was exceptional. We look forward to staying there again.

The hotel was nice, however, for the price we paid, it had a stringent pool towel policy, the balcony sliding glass door had a 3 inch gap that let bugs in, all around the property was under construction. Pool was not warm, spa was not hot.
