This hotel is very conveniently located to all the restaurants we enjoyed. The breakfast buffet offers fresh fruit, veggies, chef made omelettes, a wide assortment of pastries and smoothies. The workout room is sufficient with weights and a few treadmills. The huge pool is warm and very visible on the dining floor. We loved it. I highly recommend this hotel.
