Loved the entire stay. Eveything was clean and convenient. My only issue was an our restroom looked very old and was falling apart in some places but they let change rooms, all was good. The view was great and the restaurant had all tasty food. I went and had a massage there and was very happy with my masseuse. All services were great.
