the lunch buffet provided a great experience for my team. the staff let us start early, a welcome gesture. every dish, though not a huge variety, was fresh and tasty.
the english tv channel selection was somewhat limited. this is a minor point, though.

The location was convenient for getting around the city.
The checkout process was unacceptable. I waited more than 15 minutes for someone to inspect my room. Staff repeatedly said it would only take two minutes, yet they remained behind the counter doing nothing to expedite the process.

The pool on the roof provides comfy cushions. Large towels were available near the pool. I enjoyed the sea view from my room. The breakfast had enough variety.
Customer service felt a little low because staff was not very attentive.
