Bathroom
97- “then coming on in here you've got a ensuite bathroom with a very large shower a seat in the shower and then a separate water closet over here if we roll the camera just right this way and we've got a separate water closet in here so that makes for a nice nice master bathroom” 103:48
- “Overall, I felt the Junior Suite was very spacious, clean, and comfortable, and the perfect size for two people. Our bathroom had two separate vanities, a walk-in shower, and a private toilet area, which made getting ready a breeze.” 4
Food
88- “In-Room dining is also available from 7:30AM-midnight if you want to order in. We ordered a pizza from Cabo Azul Room Service one night and it was quick and tasty! It's a nice treat to have room service and enjoy a movie night in your bathrobe.” 4
- “Javier's is a great spot for dinner one night too & we've enjoyed walking down the beach to other hotel restaurants as well” 5

Bed & Sleep
