The room was nice and clean with sea views. My main complaint would be the fact of having to pay $25 per day for parking on site👎. Ended up parking a short distance away for $95 for a week. The pool was nice but maybe closed to early at 10pm and the spa turned out to only be a hot tub as it wasn't working. Overall wasn't as bad as some i have stayed at.

The only thing good was the renovated room and the pleasant service. Other than that everything was very poor, swimming pool old and outdated, breakfast with no salads of any kind, restaurant not working for lunch or dinner and the lifts (5) of them but hardly ever working more than 2, waiting time about 10-15 minutes, more than you wait for the Trams
