helpful staffsuite upgradeideal locationseparate hours
The staff was helpful. They upgraded our room from a Beautiful Sea View to a suite. The location is ideal with walking distance to major attractions. We found lots of restaurant options nearby.
The gym and spa have separate hours for men and women. This made it difficult to use the facilities together. We had to plan our schedule separately. This restriction limited our flexibility.
