The property is beautiful, I loved the spa and the fact it’s private for the hour I booked. The staff is friendly but it did bother me someone stood in my way to ask me if I was a hotel guest which made me feel uncomfortable. This also happened to me 2 years ago so I flagged it to the front desk, I don’t understand what’s the criteria to suspect someone is not a guest. Other than that, great stay and would recommend. Just don’t look too suspicious so they don’t try to remove you from the premises.
