Legacy Resort Hotel & Spa
A great stay. Big rooms and a nice pool and jacuzzi area. Room maid wasn't great. First day forgot to replenish coffee and tea etc. Then on our second day turned up after 4 PM to clean the room, we'd been out all day and sent her away. Otherwise a nice hotel in a beautiful city.

Friendly, helpful staff. Internet was unavailable for first 2 days which was an inconvenience. Hotel could use a refresh but bed was comfortable, shower was hot. Breakfast was nothing out of the ordinary but nice to have a coffee and muffin to start the day.
