amazing views and friendly service

balcony viewgentle breezereliable internetawesome pool

The views from the balcony were inspiring. We left the balcony doors open during the night. the weather was comfortable and the gentle breeze was nice. the internet is reliable and good. the pool is awesome. check-out was easy. i was able to do it very early in the am.

The bathroom flooded every time i showered, even with the curtain closed. The water wouldn't drain, leaving the floor slippery all day. i asked at the reception to get this fixed, but our complaint was dismissed. it was very disappointing.

Service

The staff were very helpful and always available to answer questions. i found maria on reception to be super helpful. She booked a couple of excursions for me, and the trips were great. i am very grateful.

Rooms

the room was a generous size, more like a little apartment, with a large secluded balcony. the bathroom was a good size, and everything was spotlessly clean, very important. i loved the complimentary robes and slippers:.
