This is an absolute must-stay property. It is gorgeous, the rooms are impeccably clean and modern with so many small touches. The staff is beyond compare and made us feel like family. The food is amazing and the free breakfast was plentiful and delicious. We loved every aspect of our stay and will stay here again if the opportunity allows. Splurge for the suites with the private pool if you can. You will not regret it, I promise.

The check in went smoothly. The property is nice , but you can’t swim in the pool after 7pm, and the room was on the tiny side. The pools were not heated.. Though I was promised a 2pm checkout by the receptionist at checkin, I was scolded for not calling at 11am the next day, which was uncalled for.
