Balconies overlooking the bay

I walked out onto my private balcony to listen to the birds each morning during my visit. Access to the floors involved a digital pad where I touched my room level to summon one of three elevators. I relaxed in the heated pools and jacuzzi after I explored the wharf nearby.
