Everything was great, the balcony, bay view, 2 king beds, and breakfast. The only odd thing was no peep hole on the room door. I did not like having no way to verify who was at the door before opening it.

The room with balcony in front of beach site was so awesome. The only thing that needs to improve is the breakfast. Better for the freshly cook and buffet as much as possible like the other hotel. There breakfast is only placed in the box and the orange fruit is not fresh I need to throw it because you can’t definetly eat that
