Summary
I had a nice stay overall. It is a nice hotel to spend a relaxing time. One of the best thing about the hotel was the spacious room and the nice scenery. All the rooms were said to have an ocean view, garden view and a view of the pool. It was nice that both the surroundings and the hotel its self was very quiet. The only issue I had with my stay was that I could hear sounds coming from the next room bathroom, but other than that everything was very nice.
