Staff was great as was the bar and restaurant. Room was nice but not quite as comfortable as hoped due to the AC being either too cold or hot. And the mattress was too firm for me.

Had an absolutely wonderful stay. Clean, well-designed, pretty hotel. Lush with plant-life, a beautiful restaurant/bar with a patio. Great food on-site, kind bartenders. Overall, a very put-together, nice aesthetic that is fully thought out. Would definitely go back!
