I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were large and clean, and it was nice to sit outside with a beer overlooking the pool. However, the price seemed high for the facilities offered, and being a large 100% occupancy hotel had its drawbacks.

The hotel offers comfortable rooms with good facilities like a swimming pool and fitness center, although it could use better lighting in the rooms.
