I’m a repeat customer and will probably take my entire family there for vacation next summer to celebrate my 75th birthday. Everyone in this hotel is extremely friendly professional and an absolute pleasure. The ambience is fabulous I had dinner in the rooftop terrace each evening and swim in the pool. Our breakfast buffet was unbelievable including absolutely everything and presented beautifully. I can’t say enough good things about this hotel!
