food option quick service

Breakfast included many food options. The service was always quick. The room had very comfortable beds, so I slept well. I liked the bakery for lunch and snacks between meals. The service there was excellent and efficient.

The rooms do not have windows , made getting fresh air harder.

Balanced stay, some issues

spacious rooms welcome cake broken tiles poor mini-bar

The building is magnificent. It really catches the eye. Rooms were spacious. Buggy service was available, and there were many activities to participate in, I even found a welcome cake waiting in the room.

The mini-bar was not stocked well for an all-inclusive package. It had one tin of beer, two sodas, and two waters. The pool was in need of maintenance as I saw many broken tiles. It felt dangerous.
