sea viewairport transfer
The breakfast had many selections. I saw a beautiful view of the sea from the roof. Access to public transportation was easy. It was worth it a lot that the hotel gave a free transfer from the airport.
The spa was not great. The pool looked more like a dip pool.

THE breakfast was quite disappointing. THE SAME items was every day , and the food was not particularly tasty. THE pool was also a letdown . It was quite small and the water was uncomfortably cold. I WOULD hesitate to book again based on these shortcomings.

fresh fruitcomplimentary drinksconvenient locationearly breakfast
i was greeted with complimentary fresh fruit upon arrival late at night. bottled water, tea, and coffee were available in the room which i found very thoughtful. the hotel's location. i also appreciated that breakfast started early with early flights.
i felt the air conditioning wasn't as effective as i'd hoped, especially on warmer days, as the temperature seemed to be capped.
