Great as always. Beautiful hotel, great outdoor spaces, excellent restaurants and bars. Elevator has been slightly malfunctioning since the last time we were here, about 6 months ago. Up button doesn’t work which confused the elevator when you press an upper floor. Door would close and then reopen before finally closing again and taking you up. Surprised it hadn’t been fixed yet.

The view was stunning. Property beautiful. Hotel very busy. 4 weddings during our stay! My room was very small, my friends had beautiful rooms. Also I was on second floor above the lobby. Although convenient very noisy at night as people were in the lobby when no room in bar. The surrounding area was great. Close to Mall outside shopping and we walked everywhere. Nice pool as well. Had rocking chairs along building in back with heaters if you got chilly. Our stay was wonderful!
