My stay was perfect and seamless the minute I checked in. The hospitality and the courteous nature of the hotel staff exemplified the stay. The staff constantly attentive ensured every small request was fulfilled. The rooms were immaculate, spacious and very comfortable. The patio had the most perfect view of the hotel and pool.
