the gym had several treadmills plus stationary bikes. the room had a rainfall shower and two separate sinks, how cool is that! i needed that after so much walking around the hotel. breakfast includes many options and everything tasted so fresh.

the pool bar service can be a little slow, i waited a long time for my drink.
