What a fantastic find! We booked for an overnight stay on our travels and was sad to leave, the room was clean and well presented. The amenities were great, albeit the pool was very cold due to lack of sun on it. The Mexican restaurant, Vida, was awesome. Very much enjoyed our stay and have saved the details for future trips. Thank you!

Really nice hotel but after hours check-in is a bit confusing, was told there would be an envelope for me with details but there was none upon arrival. There are also multiple entries. Our room was out of shower gel and had a plastic bag over the smoke detector. Overall happy with our stay and location just wish the room was better presented, too many small details to be annoyed over, such as stains in microwave, half full water mug in fridge, still water in the kettle from previous guests, 2 smaller doonas dressed as one etc
