Beautiful property and the staff went above and beyond for my birthday! They prepared a nice private dinner along with decorations at the dinner and in the room!! Instead of reheating my left overs from the day before, they brought me a freshly prepared meal. It is the little things and this hotel has surely exceeded my expectations. I cannot wait to come back and stay

Amazing architecture, quiet and nice pool. Good access to the beach and close to many other attractions, restaurants, shopping etc. We were a bit underwhelmed from our expectations of the services and from the online pictures.
