I felt the hotel was perfectly located next to the adult pool, ideal for a traveling couple. The rooms were spacious with large bathrooms but had a somewhat dated decor. I appreciated the King size bed and the iHome iPhone docking station, although the lack of stable TV and web connectivity was a downside.
