The room was spotless. But its dated. We would like to have had more hooks to hang clothes for steam ironing. The staff in all areas were courteous and warm. Solved issues without delay. The beach and the pool area are lovely, but again some of the beach chairs and umbrellas are showing wear and tear. Food at breakfast was excellent and a great variety of choices.

Great hotel, excellent staff and service. The team that took care of Fairmount Gold Club guests was outstanding. The housekeeping was a bit of hit and miss. On the fifth floor, the rooms were not being cleaned well. On the 7th floor, they were immaculate. The windows of the hotel were quite dirty from outside. The hotel should clean them more often. The breakfast was excellent. I wish the hotel had another pool inside for extremely hot periods.
