"The room was fairly large but it was facing the indoor pool and had no natural light. This was a bit disappointing because I was not made aware of this before booking. It was hard to see what the weather was like (constantly changing in TC) and a bit depressing to have to use the room lights 24/7. The shuttle was an added bonus as they would take you anywhere downtown. The vicinity to the beach was also an added bonus as there was plenty of space to layout using the hotel chairs, loungers and towels. Breakfast options were plentiful and constantly filled throughout the morning. Overall, a great value for the amenities and distance from downtown."
