Overall, a great stay. We...

Liked: Rooms are clean and spacious. Really appreciated having no carpets. Beds are super comfortable. We stayed in early May. The property has a heated pool which was great for our kids - their favorite activity. Breakfasts are nice and a great advantage, especially for families with kids.
Disliked: Minor improvements needed. Shampoo and shower gels are mounted too high on the wall, too high even for an adult. Kids could not reach and needed constant help. TVs need an upgrade, so that guests could connect the Netflix, etc. There were limited amount of channels.

A wonderful stay with amazing...

Liked: The pool was naturally salted with no chlorine, and the 104°F hot tub was perfect for stargazing at night. Breakfast was à la carte, with a lovely lady personally making us avocado toast—such thoughtful service. Plenty of hot drink options and a beautiful seating area. The staff were fantastic—friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring.
Disliked: One night isn’t enough—you’ll want to stay longer. Just note that check-in ends at 8:30 pm, and arriving later costs $25, which can be stressful if you're driving in from far away.
