Beautiful place little bit worn in the bedrooms like carpet and bathrooms, beautiful outdoors and reception, fantastic service and dinner was lovely followed by impeccable service! Also Air conditioning was fantastic best I’ve ever had in a hotel. Bed comfortable too. Rooms aren’t noise cancelling, could hear everyone walking down the hall kids running up as down I felt like my neighbours were in my room at times talking.
