Yes, very much.

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked cheapest rate and was upgraded to Ocean View Suite King Bed.

How are the rooms?
Around 45sqm large.

Bedroom with very comfortable bed.
Alarm clock with usb sockets.

Large bathroom with bathtub and separate walk-in shower, with two showers (really not a fan of the shower, which combines water pressure and temperature: you have to put the pressure to the maximum to get hot water, which makes the shower uncomfortable, and splashes water outside the shower)

Small balcony with view over the ocean and city.

No coffee machine/kettle.
Small closet
Yoga mat
Large flatscreen television set with easy connection to your own devices. Large choice of cable channels (but poor choice of international channels).
