Wonderful Stay!
I absolutely enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The staff were friendly and attentive, the room was very clean and spacious, the inclusive breakfast was a good variety of options to choose from, and the pool area was open late so I was able to relax and order food & drinks some evenings. Overall I loved the service and ambience so I would definitely stay here again.
