The staff was outside smoking right by our rooms. My young son said hello to them and they laughed at him! The room had thin walls and j could hear every step and couldn’t sleep. The room service was very late and half provided.

Food was superb. The employees were so attentive and very serviceable. This was a business stay so didn’t get the chance to enjoy the amenities. Did manage to squeeze in a hike the shortest trail of the 3 they offer. Breathtaking views especially after rainy day.

The resort is very dated.The photos posted of the lobby, and the rooms are deceiving. When we checked into our room, the toilet was running, so we had to change rooms. We paid for a room with outdoor access, they didn’t have any of those rooms available, and we weren’t offered a partial refund. They moved us directly upstairs from our other room and we could hear the toilet from below running all night long. They also began replacing door locks in the morning which made a loud, vibrating sound. On a positive note, the view from the restaurant is very pretty. Unfortunately we didn’t enjoy our stay.
