Great location but tired room facilities. Pool area is lovely and the building looks out onto a park and ocean. Rooms could do with an upgrade, especially the carpets and the shower water pressure. On the upside, very comfortable bed.

Avoid breakfast

Location and rooms are great. Breakfast was very disappointing. Food was cold even when we went down at 6am. No mugs, glasses etc had to ask staff for so many things. They are really understaffed and not prepared for breakfast time. Would stay again but only on a room only basis. Charged for wifi which is rare these days, especially when the room rate is so high

The hotel has no shop, so we went next door to the Hilton for bottled water and snacks. The pillows were thick and hard.
