This hotel is just lovely. Unfortunately, the walls, at least in the 2 story bungalow we were in, seemed very thin, and the people upstairs walking around, walking up the stairs (not even loudly, but you could hear every step echoing into our room, and listening to their TV kept us up until 1 am, and then we couldn't sleep until 3. I'm not usually going to complain about sound issues, but for a hotel of this caliber, it's not acceptable that I could literally hear what the TV actors were saying. For hours. So although the hotel itself is a dream, sleeping there, for us, was a nightmare, and we can't recommend it to others based on our experience.

Expected more

There was a long narrow flight of stairs to my nicely furnished room. My complaint is with the vanity area of the bathroom. It made it very difficult to get ready. A 5 star hotel with the cheapest hairdryer they could find? It was a $12.99 Conair (I checked Conair’s website). Besides that, it was hard to put makeup on as the lighting was dim and you couldn’t get close to the mirror. I’d suggest putting up a magnified, lighted swing arm mirror and invest in a better quality hairdryer.
