10/10 Excellent
"Amazing hotel with stunning views from the very clean and spacious room. Best part was the friendly helpful staff. Our luggage was lost for three days by the airline and the hotel staff did everything they good to help us. They even let us have the airline deliver it there after we left and held it until we could retrieve it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND."
