| The hotel was amazing in all respects. From the grand foyer at check-in, to the enormous swimming pool with cabanas and pool-side bar and cafe, this hotel provided extraordinary luxury at every turn, yet it lacked the pretentious attitude of many high-class hotels.

| One of the most beautiful hotels and buildings I have seen in a while. Very well maintained. The service was good, although felt a bit snuffed by the employees at the cafe. I highly recommentd it. One tip for the managers though, please put rugs on the floor in the bedroom, the marble floors get very cold.
