8.2/10 Very Good! (1,005 reviews)
This was a very nice getaway. I wanted peace and quiet and this hotel definitely provided that. The rooms were very spacious, peaceful, and quiet. The view from my room was absolutely everything. There are many amenities to use, including the spa. The staff was very warm and inviting. The pool area was definitely my favorite.
