Hotel was an excellent choice. The only hotel I could find that had ocean view rooms!...it did not disappoint. Bath robes and slippers provided! Heated bathroom floor! Great shower with soft water! Convivo restaurant was amazing...everything we ate was fantastic. Only negative was that the table lamps beside the bed didn't work properly. Otherwise everything was fantastic...no regrets!

8/10 Very good

Nice stay
Stay was good, the only limitation was not having even a Microwave oven. So getting warm water or simple heating of food especially given Winter was a limitation. But for that, other aspects wee good!
