We had a very pleasant stay overall. The location and views are beautiful, the room was comfortable, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Just a small suggestion for improvement: it would be good to keep an eye on termites in some of the wooden areas and to make sure the jacuzzi water stays hot enough. Other than that, everything was great and we really enjoyed our stay.
