The views were great! We could see both sunrises over the water and sunsets over the beautiful mountains. We had two bathrooms and two bedrooms so we were able to spread out. The living room recliner couch was very comfortable. We appreciated the privacy curtains everywhere (except master shower). The building was clean and quiet. We didn't use the pool, but it looked well kept up. Elevators were safe and quiety.
