Glenn, Sep 2016
Pros (+) Good onsite breakfast buffet.
Cons (-) I wasn't a huge fan of a first floor room with motel-style hallway windows so that was a little uncomfortable but in the end it was still quiet and didn't seem to cause any issues.

Pros (+) We booked on points and were upgraded to a Cabaña suite. A huge space with a balcony overlooking a plaza with a gorgeous tree.
