i loved the beautiful interior! the staff was really nice and helpful. i especially appreciated how accessible our unit was on the ground floor. breakfast upstairs on the rooftop was very convenient, and the table spread changed slightly from day to day!!!
The pool was very, very small compared to the photos. It seemed more like a pretty feature.
