vast choicefresh juicemissing balconyqr ordering
The breakfast buffet included a vast choice of items. It featured fresh pressed orange juice and eggs cooked to order. The hotel also offered molten brown toiletries in the room. I found full accessible channels on tv.
My standard room lacked a balcony. I felt that the staff pushed upgrades because they knew this. There was not much entertainment at all. I found it impersonal to use a QR ordering system for drinks by the pool.

breakfast selectionattentive serviceconvenient locationbathtub shower
The breakfast buffet provided a vast selection of foods. Champagne was offered during breakfast. This was a nice touch. The service was consistently attentive throughout the stay. I appreciated the shopping and dining options available right outside the hotel entrance.
The shower was located inside the bathtub, which posed a slight challenge when getting in and out. I think that a walk-in shower would be an improvement. This would make the bathroom more accessible and safer.
Rooms

The room decor featured a tasteful design. A separate bathroom and shower area were beneficial. A rainfall shower added to the convenience.
Dining
10/10
The breakfast buffet offered an really good array of choices. Fresh produce, including fruits, salads, and cheeses, was available daily. Staff readily prepared omelets and eggs to order.
