Room was big and very comfortable, however somme items in the room looking very "tired" and ready for replacement. Minimal contact with staff, they did not interact with me or appear friendly at all.

Amazing place to stay, <1 minute walk to the beach, clean, large rooms, great service, great use of technology for the keys to the room doors. My only complaint was that the electrical switchboard made a buzzing sound and as it was in the bedroom it was a little annoying when going to sleep.

The beds were terrible to sleep in, The kids (teenagers) beds were given a fold out sofa to sleep in we ended up putting the mattress on the floor with several blankets off the bed so they could have a decent sleep. For $1000 for 3 nights it was not cool at all. The lady that was cleaning the rooms was really nice.

On arrival, parking was available and check in was easy. The room had everything we needed, and the bed was comfortable. The spa bath was fabulous. We'd stay there again.
