The room and the other places of the hotel very clean. Beautiful and quiet hotel to spend for couple of days there. The spa is large and comfortable, as is the outdoor pool.

Nice pool areas but the spa wasnt staffed. Overall the staff was rather indifferent. Breakfast isnt served until 8 am, which is fine if you're there as the destination. Carpet was dirty but the AC worked great. Bathroom was tiny.
