The hotel was clean but very underwhelming.

The shower was going from cold to hot. The water pressure in the shower was very low. The water was barely coming. The breakfast was terrible. It didn't taste like real food. The hotel was clean but very underwhelming.

This may be one of the best hotel rooms I have had. Spacious room, upscale bathroom with backlit mirror, nightlight and high counters. Microwave, fridge, coffee. Spacious desk with a separate space for placing luggage on. Closet, room safe, and complimentary breakfast buffet. Perfect. Only cons were very loud room door latches which close with a loud thunk in the hallway and the beds were okay but could be a bit firmer. Highly recommend this place.

We were very happy with our stay except the pull out sofa bed in our suite. The mattress was absolutely terrible. The coils were digging into my back and it smelled like vomit. It was not possible to sleep on this piece of furniture.

The only thing was that when we went to the pool, we found the beach towels very small. In the future it would be better to have proper beach towels at the pool.
