"The property is clean and gorgeous, the staff were incredibly friendly, and breakfast was delicious with a great variety of options to suit everyone. We did experience a few issues with our key cards as they implemented a new system but this didn’t take away from the overall experience. Hopefully the issue has been fixed soon enough for future guests"

"The hotel was nicely decorated and clean. The staff was very friendly. Check in quick. We were only there to sleep one night so we didn't use any of the facilities. The room was small with little amenities compared to NA standards but the bed was comfy, shower nice and balcony a bonus. The location was great as it was close to the airport and the waterfront. They also allowed us to keep our luggage after checkout as we weren't flying out until 5pm."

Overlooking both the ocean and the mountains, it is nestled on a pristine garden property that allows you to feel completely at peace with your surroundings. However, the gem is the staff. Each staff member was warm and attentive, going out of their way to make our stay better than what we could had hoped for. It really felt like we had been welcomed into a caring family. We cannot recommend this place more highly and are looking forward to returning. Plus- we saw the most phenomenal sunset of our lives--while eating dinner on the terrace!"
