excellent experience near the airport

I appreciated the convenient location near the airport (it was only a short taxi ride away). the breakfast offered many options and was of very good quality. i also enjoyed the nearby promenade. It was perfect for walking and running. (i am a big fan of running.)

i noticed that the pool hours were limited, specifically from 11 am to 7 pm, reducing the time available to freely enjoy the outdoor pool.
