"Probably the coolest hotel I’ve stayed at in as far as I can remember. The decor was out of this world! The bed was absolutely fabulous! Loved the little extras (night time surprises on my pillow, cold lavender towels and popsicles by the pool). Couldn’t have asked for a better stay!"

"Property was very nice. Staff was friendly and helpful. Location wasn't as close to the beaches as I thought however it wasn't too far. I was hoping for walking distance, but we definitely had to drive. Bathroom was a bit small. Overall, my family and I would go back. It was comfortable."
