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.

We absolutely LOVED this property so much that we cancelled our stay at a different hotel to come back to this one! All of the staff were absolutely incredible. The attention to detail from setting up a surprise in our room for our honeymoon, to remember our names and recommending areas to go. Incredible time.
