Wish I stayed longer!
Pros:

Phenomenal location. Friendly staff. Great pool. Nice views. Lobby filled with things to do

Cons:

I was really cold at night and couldn’t find where to switch off the fan, also had to look for an extra blanket and took a while to find it in the closet at the top. But other than that, everything was amazing
