Comments
A very nice, small hotel gym with a decent range of equipment compared to the size of the gym. There’s also a fair amount of floor space.
 
There’s an amazing view of the outdoor pool and beach from the gym, great natural lighting and two air conditioning units which make training a lot more comfortable.
 
Due to COVID, you must book an appointment if you want to use the hotel gym. Only one guest (or guests from the same room) can use the hotel gym at any given time. As a result, accessibility of the equipment has been great whilst training. However, I can imagine that without a booking system like that, it would be a lot more difficult as there’s very limited space if more than one or two guests are using the gym at the same time.
 
I would say it is lacking a barbell, squat rack, bench press, leg machines or any weight- based machines for that matter. However, there simply isn’t enough space for them, so with the space available, it has got a nice selection of equipment to train all muscle groups.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
Yes!
