The food is amazing. The entire staff is extremely professional, especially everyone in the restaurant. The hotel has a very unique design. The hallways and various sitting areas throughout the hotel look very homely (in a good way). From the pool area, to the huge bar lounge, etc, there are many soft chairs and couches to relax. The 1st room we stayer in very outdated and needs renovations. However, the next day we were put in a different room and it was much nicer. The beds are large and comfortable. The TVs do not have Apps on them, so no Netflix, etc and not able to screen share from your phone. So, when making a booking here, I would suggest that you call and specifically request for the most updated room, with a closed or partially closed shower. Unless you dont mind the bath tub that you can also stand in to shower, but no door. Overall, I would definitely return and recommend it to others.
