The staff is super amazing and goes all out making my stay comfortable. I noticed rooms were super clean, and I loved the pool area. I got a massage with Camilla and it felt amazing. I love the helpful staff and clean rooms!

Excellent stay

attentive staffefficient check-inspacious layoutdated equipment
The staff was attentive and handled my luggage promptly. I was greeted warmly and my check-in was completed efficiently. The room included electronic drapes, a large balcony overlooking the pool and a very spacious layout. The bathroom had a walk-in shower, a separate tub, and a private area for the toilet.
I found the gym equipment to be a bit dated and limited. It could benefit from an update to provide a better workout experience. There was only one bench available.

Breakfast offered many selections. The staff prepared special omelets and French toast to accommodate dietary restrictions. Preferences were remembered each day without additional requests. That was excellent.
