Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
The space looks great, and the overall ambience is very good. The staff were kind and respectful. However, the property needs to have better amenities - 1. We didn’t get running hot water even in the morning (it was lukewarm at best) 2. The phones in the room was only functioning half the time 3. It’s advertised as a private pool, but it’s not private at all. The pool is clearly visible to everyone walking by and maintenance and cleaning staff are going around most of the time and can see you even from the pathways.

Room was super nice and staff was helpful, my only complaint is that there is not a spa or great amenities. Breakfast was good but we didn’t love our room service dinner.
