i loved the location, its close proximity to the marina was a winner. jet skiing was just a short walk. the pool was exclusive, relaxing and the restaurant food was yummy. the housekeeping staff was very attentive to our needs.
the room temperature was set too low and was not comfy. we paid quite a bit, so i expected it to be better. the body wash was barely enough for one shower, i almost run out.
