Fodor's Expert Review Crowne Plaza Resort

Though it's not exactly an architectural marvel, this serviceable hotel 10 minutes from the airport and city center, is more than just a convenient stopover. Pretty gardens, a golf range, and a large pool overlooking a wide expanse of beautiful beach and comforable, attractive common areas largely redeem what the building lacks in elegance. Rooms are pleasant, bright, and modern, some with terraces and direct garden access, and suites are large with rug-strewn marble floors, large sitting areas and traditonal interiors. There are dining options indoors and out, with a good range of international cuisine.
