8/10 Good
"Beautiful hotel had a wonderful location with absolutely phenomenal views. The food was excellent too. Our only challenge was that the room was quite small, no air-conditioning, only choice was to open a window and turn on the fan that was actually provided in the room. This became a challenge because our room happened to be located directly above the entrance to the hotel so was quite noisy with the window open until after the bar had closed. other than that wonderful place."
