Wonderful staff, especially Paula, Maria and the girl with the curly hair (sorry didn’t get your name) at the front desk. Hotel isn’t located in the best area, but ok walking during the daylight. Could definately use more variety at breakfast and more pool loungers. Cleaning staff do a great job, keep everything spotless.
