I had a mixed experience at this hotel. Despite the comfortable beds and quality shower in a room overlooking the pool, the fact that my room wasn't ready upon arrival due to a last-minute booking after a flight cancellation was disappointing. The hotel's presentation of the room was pleasant overall, but the delay in readiness was inconvenient.
