We got extra perks because we booked through Expedia. The Al a Carte Restaurants were very good for dinners and easily booked through the Elite Club. We could go to 5 pools, but only 2 were heated. Great gym, beautiful pools. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Buffets were disappointing and the Pergola Restaurant was like a cafeteria, no atmosphere. Not much for evening entertainment.

Disliked: Amenities
The buffets were average/below average. I had hair and egg shells in my AM eggs. Dinners at restaurants were good. No music on the beach so the brass bands (tuba, trombone etc) would blast super loud and try to play louder than the next band. Disturbing. We couldn’t hear the beach or waves. The buildings are a little run-down but the cost was low on the stay so it was what we expected.

I was quoted a resort fee by Expedia that was not honoured by the hotel at check in. I am a type 1 diabetic and was charged for a fridge. Our room was not clean and our bedding wasn’t changed unless we were there watching them do it. The money for drinks and food was outrageous! Paid over $7 Can for a beer at the pool?? The elevators sucked. There were a couple of good things: clean drinking water was provided via a tap system. The location of the hotel was convenient to all the restaurants, pubs and markets and the view from the deck was great. Overall if you’re not in the more expensive side of the hotel you will know it and probably regret not spending a bit more at a different hotel.

The view from our 14th floor balcony was outstanding. Our stay was 3 weeks and 3 times we needed to call down for a new access number for wifi. Much more convenient to have it for the entire 3 weeks. The location of the hotel is great. Easy access to shopping, restaurants, bars, etc. The pulmanias are the best invention. Such an easy way to get around.
