mixed feelings about my stay
friendly staffobscured sea viewnoisy air conditioning
the staff were friendly. (i especially appreciated their help with directions).
The room wasn't what i expected. the advertised sea view was mostly obscured by palm trees. I could barely see the ocean. also, the air conditioning was quite noisy, difficult to sleep soundly throughout my stay. the noise was really annoying, room's view
