Gorgeous hotel. Loved the wine and cheese reception and the plunge pool. Our room was nice and clean. The only downside was that the elevator was broken. Thankfully the staff helped us with our luggage. The hotel did apologize for the broken elevator and were visibily working to get it fixed. I only stayed for one night, and would like to stay longer during a future trip. Really, can't recommend this place enough.

Hotel staff is friendly. Weekend housekeeping wasn’t good. No formal dining area and lounge at property. Getting in and out is a bit hectic due to narrow streets and significant amount of tourists from cruises.
