Loved the hotel it was beautiful and so peaceful. The rooms were very clean. What I did not like about this hotel was the attitude of the staff, for example we asked the gentleman at bar in the lobby for 2 foam cups and spoons for our kids cereal, the face he made us left us speechless, made us feel so uncomfortable. Never the less we didn't do all inclusive because we weren't gonna be in the hotel so for us everything being clean and beautiful was worth it.
