Beautiful hotel inside and out! Great location to walk to some shops, restaurants and grocery store. Great amenities such as the wet and dry sauna and jacuzzi with gym. The pool was beautiful. A few things to consider, the location is walkable however, there is a lot of traffic and noise such as honking and vehicles. Get towels for the pool at the front desk before you go, as the sign is small by the pool advising you of it and the service by the pool can be scarce if you want a towel, drinks and food. They provide transportation for $50 (each way) to and from the airport, so arrange that ahead of time as it is much safer than using Uber. Staff are all friendly and helpful and breakfast is a big variety, you can even get omelettes made or eggs your way, just ask and be sure to add it to your package, it was worth it to start your day.
