Average stay, some issues

The staff seemed helpful. It was appreciated.
The room I booked, a double room TWO double beds, was quite small. There wasn't much space to move around and I felt constrained. It definitely affected my experience. THE SIZE was a significant drawback.

the location was central and convenient. the room was clean and the bed was comfortable. complimentary drinks and snacks in the mini-fridge were a nice touch.
The bathroom was quite small. the lighting in the room could have been better. It was a bit dim. i found the mandatory resort fee a bit annoying, considering i didn't use all the amenities it covered.
