Lush gardens with a enormous pavillion, trails, and many beautiful places to sit and take in the views. Very tastefully decorated with local cultural artifacts. Staff where ALL kind, curious, and professional. We especially enjoyed the hospitality in the rooftop lounge, where the music, good and cocktails were all very much enjoyed.
