Great location, and the room was pretty big. The bed was comfortable, too. Great amenities and plenty of space to work downstairs or out on the pool deck. However, the bathroom wasn't clean and the staff weren't friendly.

Most hotels have free coffee and breakfast. I could not find either. The restaurant at the hotel looked nice but we did not try it. It took to long to check out if you grabbed something quick like a water or soda.
