Excellent customer service - Tamara was fantastic - they immediately understood our needs and took steps to go above and beyond. We had a horrible day of flight delays then cancellations (resulting in why we had to find a hotel) and the hotel and customer service there (so far) made the tough day easier.

Such a safe quiet place, not many people and lots of things to do. You have to rent a car Uber, but there’s lots of things to do offsite and things to see the just on site. It’s just amazingly quiet except for the roosters.

Beautiful hotel and grounds. Great location central to most things. Staff very nice, need more housekeeping (currently only every four days). Need towels daily. Main restaurant great for breakfast, but expensive. Got shocked at check out with $42 a day hotel taxes- seemed excessive and acclimated quickly. Also $40 a day to park Was not aware of this with booking Would stay here again based upon beauty and location
