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
