Staff was friendly and helpful. Although the rooms were updated 2 years ago they were not in good shape. The room we were in had water damage on the floor/walls, soap rack was broken and the sink water smelled of sewage.

The property is absolutely gorgeous, well decorated with fruit trees all over the property. The rooms are very spacious, well decorated, the staff is friendly and available for questions. The pool is big and beautiful. The only reason why I"m not ranking my stay any higher is because the AC units in the rooms are extremely loud to rhe point were even with earugs the loudness of the AC can't be canceled out. I didn't sleep the first night due to the loudless of the AC. We were moved after the first night to a different building, however, we had to insist. Beautiful hotel, just know that the AC units are extremely loud, bring earplugs, you will need them.

Absolutely love this property and I paid for the room w/ a courtyard/pool view and it was just lovely hanging out on the balcony. Only bummer was the super loud a/c unit right outside the bedroom.
