The area is beautiful. The rooms are large and well equipped. The breakfast was good. The property was well kept and well laid out. Our only problem was the AC wasn't working in either rooms we had (we were there with family). The hotel moved us to a cooler room, but it was clear that AC was problematic in the 4 rooms we occupied between the two families.
