Nice Resort.

Pros: The breakfast was excellent in quality & service. The Valet Service was attentive & well organized. The pool was large and towels plentiful.

Cons: The wallpaper was peeling in our bathroom. It also could have been detailed (corners, baseboards etc.) a bit more closely. The vent for the AC needed cleaning badly.
