“I noted it has a somewhat boutique atmosphere, and that the individually furnished rooms are set back from the main roads in a tropical garden. While a bit further from the airport than some might prefer, the complimentary cruise terminal shuttle is a definite plus, and I think this option works well for families or those seeking a quieter, more personalized stay.”
