I don’t know what the helicopter like sound are in the mornings every morning but I could have done without. Gym is very well equipped and the pool is clean. The breakfast service is not worth the price everything was cold and bland so I would recommend using your $20 per person somewhere else. Also the guy working the restaurant the day we went couldn’t be bothered to get missing items that you would need to serve yourself."
