"We loved the location and the staff was very professional and helpful. We were rather disappointed with the breakfast. Some fresh fruit would have been nice, and the menu was the same every day. A little variation would have been nice too. We ran out of body wash the second day in the hotel and notified the front desk. They never did refill our body wash. The cleaning staff needs to pay more attention to the amenities in the room. The terrace restaurant was nice, but very pricey and hot. There wasn't much shade there when we went there for dinner. It really needs some shade."
