I had such a wonderful stay at the hotel! The rooms were beautifully furnished with very comfortable beds, creating a really inviting atmosphere. The tropical plants and semi-private hot tub added a touch of luxury. The balconies were a nice bonus with chairs to relax outside. Everything was clean, which I appreciated. However, the price could be a bit steep for some travelers.
