I've always wanted to stay here, not sure why it took so many years. Not as luxurious as i expected but it was nice. The bar and restaurant are nice. We stayed in the older part so it needs a little more care. The grounds are beautiful, the pool and jacuzzi are very comfortable. The room we were in was pretty small. But I think you need to be familiar with the hotel and know which room to ask for. It was very quiet even though we were on the first floor where the bar and restaurant are. Would I stay again? Probably, had to ask for the Charlie Chaplin room.
