"The breakfast was great with lots of options. The location is right on the water within walking distance to many restaurants. Taxi is very easy to get - ask concierge. Don’t book an airport shuttle, just take a taxi (they have vans that fit up to 8 people). There are Bolt scooters right out front, we jumped on them for a quick ride to the beach. Natural pool right out front or indoor pool in hotel, small but useful. Gym is small but has the basics to get in a full work out. Staff were very friendly and helpful!"
