    During our three week vacation this was the only hotel that offered a buffet of fresh fruit. All other hotels served fruit on a plate. We liked the arrangement in this hotel, because you could choose which fruit you wanted to have on your plate.

    Check in was easy. Only waited for 10 mins for the shuttle, took 6 mins to check in and that was with a room switch, as my legs were sore, I didn’t want to be upstairs. So, they gave me a room on the main level, very close to the lobby. Excellent...
