9.2/10 Wonderful! (29 reviews)
The building design is amazing, the views and the peace that we felt there was incomparable. The grass around the pool is not convenient as it gets very wet and slippery, the breakfast could be improved but the lunch and dinner options were great. We made a reservation to stay in the room with a pool since August but it was already occupied, we were offered a different room with ocean view instead but was a bit small for the family. Overall we had a great experience that could be improved but we would go back if time allows.
