broken shower unavailable pool
The location was across the road from the beach. The staff was fantastic.
The shower did not work properly. MANY of the facilities like the indoor pool were unavailable. I expected much more for a 5-star hotel currently.

fresh fruit gym equipment pastries selection
The breakfast buffet offered a large selection. I especially enjoyed the fresh fruit and pastries. The gym had three treadmills and two stationary bikes (that was really enough for me).
The elevators were occasionally slow. I waited longer than i expected.
