Pros. The room was great very clean and comfortable. Breakfast buffet was great.

Cons. We had a spa treatment massage and facial. I had a gal very nice but very new and spoke no English. I would not recommend spa service the facial consisted of 2 masks and some location. No massage of arms or head. Just left me lying there while the mask was on. The massage was just ok, very little pressure or precise technique. Very expensive too.
