Great location, wonderful restaurant, nice staff and an inviting pool area.
Pros:

We both used the pool area for a snack in the afternoon and it was great. The staff were very helpful. We also really like that there is a good restaurant attached to the hotel which we used three times

おしゃれリゾート
Pros:

ビーチフロント側ではなかったが、絵に描いたようなおしゃれなリゾートホテルで、スタッフもフレンドリー。天気に恵まれ、目の前のビーチの正面に昇る朝日が最高だった。朝食付きのプランにしたがビュッフェも食材の数も量も十分。今回は移動途中で1泊のだったがもう少し長く滞在したいと思った。

Cons:

おしゃれに外観は全面ガラス張りなので、もちろんカーテンはあるが道路から窓側は室内丸見え。羽目殺しなので外気を取り込むことはできない。
