Clean modern room missing some basic features
Pros:

The room is clean, modern and comfortable

Cons:

The smell of the newly applied stain on the balcony gave me a headache, made me close the sliding door and prevented me from using the balcony that I paid extra for... Headache and no use of balcony... Hmmmm

Beautiful view and pleasant stay
Pros:

The staff was very friendly, and go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and info in the area locally. Very pleasant but i’d say the only thing that sucks is you can only book two days, and apparently they have days reserved out way ahead and become fully booked fast. that’s what staff says anyways. I would pay a lot to stay longer! Came home 4 days earlier for my vacation since no rooms available. I like that they don’t close the pool seasonally and let you go to the pool area if you wanted to as well.
