Best 1 night stay ever. Jacuzzi was perfect for 2. Views are incredible. Town is very quiet and nice. Definitely make sure you have your breaks checked before you drive there though. It’s almost all downhill and curvy. Breaks smelled like they were ready to burst into flames when we arrived lol.

The room was perfect. I never saw the staff. The room exceeded all expectations. I know the hotel cannot control the weather, but the weather was perfect. My gf and I had a wonderful time and I would recommend this lodging every time. BTW, if you go to the brewery, the ceviche is wonderful.
