efficient air conditioning fresh fruit
the room, classic room, included a safe. it also featured air conditioning which was very efficient. the breakfast included fresh fruit and pastries. i found the staff polite and attentive.
the pool was smaller than i expected. this caused some noise during the day.

The dining area had a relaxed atmosphere. breakfast offered an array of choices, from fresh fruits to pastries, and cooked-to-order options. the coffee machine produced excellent cappuccinos. That was important to me.

The breakfast had a fabulous selection. Lush landscaping overlooked the vast Atlantic Ocean. It was amazing. Staff members were very personal and accommodating, a real treat.
The gym was a little small though it had all the essentials.
