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.

lush landscaping breakfast selection accommodating staff
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.
