The property was nice enough, nothing amazing. Breakfast $55 per person! Save yourself money and stay at one of other local resorts. You will walk to same town center for reasonable priced coffee, pastries, supermarket, pizza, etc. it’s 5 min walk from any local hotel. All local hotels have free airport pickup/drop off!

I could not recommend this resort enough. Staff were super accommodating and attentive to all needs. I was overly impressed by this resort and all activities and tours booked throughout. You really get your moneys worth and this is an experience everyone should get to do! Also the fine dining had one of the best affogatos I’ve ever had!

Lovely foyer and main entry, but some areas of the hotel are a bit dated. The hotel rooms are quite spread out and paths connecting the rooms back to the hotel are not well laid out or mapped out. The guest laundry has only 2 washing machines and 2 dryers, which were running constantly through the day. The parking areas are quite limited and the spaces are narrow, particularly when most vehicles are large 4WD.
