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 very 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.

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.
