inviting pool swim-up bar

The resort pool was just GREAT!!! It was so large and inviting, a total paradise. The swim-up bar proved convenient. I enjoyed refreshments without leaving the water.

The corridors echoed. Sounds from other guests carried easily into my room.

excellent stay!

breakfast buffet convenient location easy walks

The breakfast buffet provided great options. I was impressed. there were many restaurants and stores nearby, so that was convenient. the proximity to the esplanade made it easy to take short walks! everything was wonderful.

the room i stayed in seemed quite small. it was a bit cramped for my family. the balcony had limited seating, with only one chair available! it affected the overall experience.
