My room was a premier large king room private garden terrace. the private garden terrace was a highlight. I enjoyed the morning sun. it was ideal for a relaxed coffee before the day began.
i found limited options for dining near. a short drive was necessary for exploring local restaurants, this became a slight inconvenience .

decent stay, some issues

spacious roomhigh noiselimited breakfast
the room was spacious enough (we had the superior large king room) and generally clean.
The noise level was higher than i anticipated. Music from the wet deck continued late into the night. also, the breakfast buffet became repetitive after a few days, with the same limited selection of cold cuts.

The staff was friendly and valet parking was efficient.
The music at check-in was loud. I struggled to hear. A wedding party arrived, dominating breakfast service. My coffee order was wrong, and the orange juice never arrived.
