Check in took a long time due to a group ahead of us. Room was small and carpet needed cleaning, cobwebs above the bed, no bathroom fan, lotion and shower gel ran out, someone else’s hair in the bed and reception always busy when we went to discuss. Overall overpriced ‘mid’ experience. We will go to the Four Seasons next time. Facilities were small but sufficient but steps by the pool and hot tub were dirty.

Truly one of the most quiet rooms I have ever stayed in. Did not hear neighboring doors or noise from other rooms loved the breakfast cafe downstairs and the bar. They seemed short staffed in all service areas - especially the bar and breakfast cafe, however, the staff running wild trying to keep up where were pleasant and helpful at all times. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here.

The hotel is physically beautiful. The room was comfortable, but the bathroom was a bit small for two people to use. In addition, the noise from outside was bothersome. Also, the dining options in the hotel were limited and extremely expensive. A basic breakfast, for example, of two eggs with the typical accoutrements was $33.
