Extremely modern, clean, and 5* facility. Pool is beautiful but not heated. The staff are beyond friendly and professional. They are clearly well trained in hospitality with everyone greeting guests no matter what. There is an onsite farm that provides all the vegetables and coffee to the hotel. The staff provided a tour ad hoc (I was just walking by and they asked if we wanted a tour). The food is excellent and not bad value. They are doing roadwork right outside the hotel property but you can’t hear anything on the grounds or in the room due to the lush vegetation. Overall, 5/5. Would come back but maybe when it’s a bit warmer.
