This is a family friendly hotel so not one we would normally choose. Our flight was cancelled so we booked it for just one night.

The room itself was nice and had a great see view. The hotel is advertised as two connected properties with spa amenities but in reality they are pretty disjointed and quite a bit of walk from each other. The spa reservation system is not great because there is no online way to reserve a massage ...
