"My stay here was amazing. The room was on the top floor with a beautiful view of the water and sunrise. Extra large balcony to sit and enjoy music from the promenade. Inside was modern and stunning. Bathroom and vanity area perfect size. Large queen size bed super comfortable. All things in kitchen to cook if you want but the restaurants are all in walking distance as well as a spa.
