United States of AmericaThis property checked every possible box. We have stayed at some of the nicest hotels around and this one was at the top. Great location for views and only 10 min walk to central area. The staff was beyond accommodating and went above and beyond for us in every way. Food at the restaurant was 5 star and very very good. They just upgraded the pool which was our favorite part during the day and at night. Such an unbelievable experience and we will definitely be back here. Thank you again to all the staff! They are 5 star and 10 ratings for a reason.
