We stayed for our honeymoon and loved the view. But unfortunately the first room we were placed in had a funky smell and after a few days of it not going away my wife was getting a headache and we also noticed there was mold on the walls of the bathroom and peeling wall paper with some water damage. We asked to move rooms and were placed in a new room and that shower also had a leak that left the floor towel soaked after each shower. We did have attentive staff when we asked for help. The best part was the view and eating breakfast with the help of Max, he was great and remembered that I needed gluten free options and would bring them each day when he saw us. We would have loved the place overall but had no luck speaking with the manager about the sub par room and didn’t receive any compensation.
