really good waterfront stay!!!

great location smiling staff excellent buffet

The breakfast buffet offered AMAZING variety. I loved the attentive staff and harbour views. my room provided entertainment with ships in the harbor!!! the location had easy access to attractions, restaurants and bars. staff members were always smiling, helpful and cute.

I found the gym undersized. This is a minor issue for such a large hotel. it's not a deal breaker because i didn't visit to exercise.

the breakfast buffet offered MANY options and the food tasted fresh. the location near the waterfront made exploring the area REALLY easy.

the gym felt a bit cramped for a hotel of this size. the simba restaurant only had tasting menus which limited the dining options.
