Hotel was beautiful though are room was in need of maintenance. The sliding door was leaking when it rained and one side did not open. The skylight in the bathroom leaked. The shower drained poorly. Some of the jets on the hot tub were broken. Food was very good but priced too high.

Very nice hotel & most of the staff was awesome. The front desk people didn't seem as helpful as the rest of the team.
