Satisfactory stay with minor drawbacks

clean roomupdated amenitiesfree kayaksseparate buildingmissing viewlimited breakfast
the room was clean, and daily cleaning service was provided. i also appreciated the updated amenities in the waterfront premium room. free use of kayaks was available and enjoyable.
the room was located in a separate building, not in the main complex. the room lacked a view of the small beach as advertised. the breakfast was limited with just pastries, bagels, yogurt, fruit and coffee.
