Restaurant prices were very high. $78 for breakfast - 2 Glasses of OJ, 1 Croissant with fruit and 1 Eggs Benedict 2 coffees. Had to call Front Desk to get house keeping to clean the room and still had to chase down a house keeper. This was close to 3:00 PM. This happened each day. Staff was very friendly.

This property is beautiful very quiet and serene. I had an experience with a front desk personnel named Ernesto who was very disrespectful. But the general manager and another staff member named Isaiah were VERY HELPFUL AND AMAZING. They were super sweet, professional and respectful. They truly turned my experience around for the better. They have exceptional customer service and I really appreciated all they did to take care of me. I would definitely recommend this hotel and I will be returning.
