fresh fruit station shuttle service helpful staff loud air conditioning rough bath towels crowded pool area
i was really impressed with the breakfast. the buffet had so many options. i especially loved the fresh fruit station (i made my own smoothies every morning!). the hotel also provided a free shuttle. this made getting around super easy. the staff were always on time and very helpful with suggestions.
the air conditioning in my room was quite loud. it made it difficult to sleep soundly. i also noticed that the bath towels could use an update (they felt a bit rough). finally, the pool area was often crowded, so finding a lounger was sometimes a challenge.

The breakfast had variety. I especially liked the fresh fruits that were available.
I am disappointed with the bathroom cleaning. The soap dispensers was unclean. I believe it is more hygienic for these items to be disposable. the music played in the corridors were very loud.
