I had a really nice stay at this hotel, especially because the rooms were so clean and spacious. The staff was genuinely warm and welcoming. However, I found the breakfast options to be a bit lacking. The pool area was fantastic, which definitely added to the overall experience, but I was a bit disappointed that the Wi-Fi came with an additional charge.

The dining experience had room for improvement due to limited breakfast options. The pool facilities were lovely, making for a relaxing environment.
