The breakfast was quite underwhelming. very few options were available and the presentation seemed careless, we loved the pool. but the view was amazing! also, the soundproofing wasn't great. I heard noise from other rooms early each morning.

The location was perfect, very close to many places to eat. i loved the room, it was spacious with nice amenities. the staff were amazing. Every single one was helpful with our suitcases when we arrived (i really appreciated it) to the reception staff. we asked them a lot about recommendations and they were so helpful.
the shower was small, and it leaked water all over the floor, so i used the towels to clean.
