Great hotel beautiful interiors. The staff could be more welcoming and there is no lift so if you’re not on the ground floor good luck with cases. Great location and pool and outdoor bar area is lovely.

Gorgeous interior, exterior, pool area, and location. Bathrooms weren’t super clean, front desk staff were not responsive and using personal phones. Pool bartender was awesome.
