This is a beautiful property and staff were very friendly. Check in was great and and the room was ready upon arrival. The decor is fabulous and the bathroom and bed a dream! Room service was quick, hot and delicious! The only negative is the lack of any stores in the area so come stocked if you want cheaper options than those provided in the mini bar. There are a million restaurants in and around the hotel so you will not lack dining options.
