fresh tortillas attentive reception large gym
The breakfast buffet was superb (i really appreciated the fresh fruit selection). A taco chef prepared tacos at a custom station with many options including fresh tortillas. The reception staff were really good, they were super attentive. The gym was large, a little over-stuffed with equipment, but nearly empty .
The hotel corridors echoed with wind sounds because some panels did not close well.

Consistent Quality Throughout My Stay

strong water pressure soft towels daily room service nice pool
The room had two separate sinks, a shower with strong water pressure, and soft towels. The hotel provided daily room service and maintained the room in an orderly condition. The hotel has a beautiful beachfront and a nice pool. The staff had towels ready upon arrival at the pool. I found several restaurants within walking distance and near a bus route into town.
