Pros:

The staff were fantastic especially the 2 sisters on the front desk. Nothing was too much trouble.
The view, location and pool were big highlights.

Cons:

I personally would upgrade.
My children did and their rooms were more comfortable and less noisy.
Although mine offered everything i needed i would have preferred more room and better facilities
