Pros:

Did not have breakfast. Room service - food good. Two toasted sandwiches ordered. One fork and knife and one serviette given. They also said that they will bring our ice which we got from the bar to our room... was not delivered. No salt/ pepper sachets to accompany BLT sandwich.

Pros:

Excellent food, staff and pool area

Cons:

The rooms are too small for family, even with the 2 beds in the room. The gym is also too small, no variety of equipment.
We changed hotels because we needed a pool at the hotel and your property did not disappoint on that aspect. Excellent Pool area
