Clean spacious room, the staff was friendly and prompt & the location is spectacular!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities

The room was a bit outdated, especially the bathroom. The pool was way smaller than we expected and was closed two of the three nights we were there.
