    I paid for an ocean view, received a very partial ocean view. I complained and changed rooms after the first night. There are only 2 options for night dining. They should really promote the rooms with full kitchens!

    The views, the marina, were stupendous. The rooms were spacious and clean. The breakfasts were scrumptious!

    At the beakfast the chef mixed the ingredients to our omelets at the breakfast. Me and my wife have asked for omelets with different ingredients.He mixed all the ingredients and he made 2 omelets with a variety of imgredients but not what we have asked for. The extra charges at the final amount to pay are too much!!!

    The hotel is amazing.The staff,the facilities,the location,the room,the view,the swimming pool.A very nice place to get rest

    Breakfast. Tiny portions. You can’t even ask for an extra bread in a rate with breakfast included. Tv is outdated technology with cable box and didn’t work for us. But we enjoyed the views instead.

    Location. How quiet it is.

    Staff needs to be attentive and prompt. Waaaaay to slow and unresponsive. Restaurant was almost 50% out of food …. “We don’t have this, that, and this”. Come on!

    Breakfast food was excellent, property is really pretty. A pleasant surprise. Love that pool area too

    No much things to do. They said it will be open air cinema but nothing ever happend. But any way we had a great time

    Amazing gateway, location is just amazing if you would like to escape from the city noise, relax, enjoy the beauty of the nature. As for the dog owners is amazing how pet friendly they are. Dogs get plates, food and even room services menu.

    Would have preferred the 28% be included in the prices on the menus. The room we stayed in wasn’t equipped with enough silverware, but we managed.

    The staff was friendly, they were always willing to assist, and the restaurants weren’t overly expensive.
