For the most part this was a great stay. Our room was immediately upgraded by the friendly front desk staff when we found that we'd been given two single beds rather than our requested double bed (fortunately we weren't there in the high season so this switch was easily possible). The room itself was still quite basic but with a comfortable bed and excellent shower. The buffet dinner and breakfast was varied and quite tasty--but, to repeat another earlier comment, a bit salty for us. We particularly enjoyed renting bikes and riding along the beautiful ocean-side bike path. The reason for the 4-star review is partially because of surprise over extra charges (the safe in the room isn't free, alcoholic drinks cost extra with dinner) but primarily because of the spa. The spa pool itself is fine, nothing particularly special, but OK. We booked a couples 'healthy back' massage, and while the young woman who gave the massage was kind, it was a huge disappointment that, for that price and for a 'couples' massage, she was alone! That meant that one of us had to just lie there with some warm gel and pad on our back while the other had a massage. Given that the hour-long 'massage' began with a 10-15 minute session in separate jacuzzi tubs, the actual massage time was about 15-20 minutes each. Not worth it.
