"Excellent property. The staff was amazing and very friendly. The views are beautiful. The rooms were spacious with balconies and a free standing tub. We stayed five days for my son's wedding and it was fairytale like. Enjoyed breakfast and the spa services. The hotel did not disappoint. It is a bit out from the main city. But the hotel has a boulevard of restaurants and shops across the street, a golf course, gym and golf carts for rent. Overall the family loved it. I would definitely recommend...
