it was so pretty, nice and clean! everybody was so friendly, the bed was so comfortable, and they have a little shop you can shop in as well! and the view was absolutely beautiful! definitely will go back in the future!
Room was nice, only deficiency was the shower water was so minimal, my wife was unable to wash her hair during our stay. There was no hope of ever getting shampoo out with the minimal water flow.
