Overall our stay was pleasant..staff were very polite

7.0

Location great for exploring other areas. Bed was too hard for me ..thank goodness for the fan that was in the room , even with the windows wide open it was too warm.

The cold buffet at breakfast could've had more options..not a lot to choose from. Told by staff to choose any table to sit at breakfast then after picking a table being told we couldn't sit there ..very annoying.
