The room was great, the location was stellar. Staff was great.
Pros:

room was very comfortable with the exception of the pillows. Too big.

Cons:

There were no towels for the pool when we visited. Pillows too big, no effort to fix the situation from the front desk
The breakfast did not always live up to expectations as ingredients were lacking
