Excellent stay

attentive staff efficient check-in spacious layout
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.
