10/10 Excellent
"We loved the property & our room was GREAT! Love the high ceiling, the room was large, the patio was nice and quiet and relaxing. I enjoyed the nice text msg from the staff and they even helped me with a local dinner recommendation! It was having a concierge on my phone without needing to CALL… I just texted them and they replied… I liked this form of communication and being engaged. We will be returning and looking forward to the same level of service "
