Unfortunately would not recommend especially...

Liked: The grounds were nice as were the staff.
Disliked: Although it was advertised as a 100% smoke-free hotel it was not our experience. All the indoor spaces including our “smoke-free” room smelled like smoke to varying degrees. Unfortunately, guests smoked cigarettes and cigars on their balconies and in outdoor common areas including the pool deck and interior courtyard throughout our stay. As a result we didn’t use the amenities and spent as much time as possible off-site. The staff was nice and professional though they seemed unaware of the smoking issue. While guests are required to sign off on the “strict no-smoking in rooms policy” at check-in, they are not told smoking is also prohibited anywhere on the grounds or on balconies. Additionally, the hotel provides ashtrays at most entrances to the interior courtyard which is why we assumed that we had misunderstood the “100% smoke-free” description of the hotel and that it really only applied to guest rooms. The smell of smoke throughout made it clear that this was not just an off weekend.
