We were delighted to drive up to our hotel. Just about everything was better than imagined. The look of this place was, on every level, a delight for the eyes. The breakfast (fit for a king) was tasty and generous; the pool was perfect, crisp and cool and clean, replete with poolside drink service and backed up to the sea so that the pool almost looked continuous with the gulf from a certain angle. Unfortunately, our room smelled like stale smoke, mostly when we turned on the air conditioner. Had we stayed more than one night, this would not have been supportable and we would've asked for another room, if they had had any where a chain smokier had not been.
