Beautiful grounds and landscaping along with such unique decor in the rooms. Loved all the Asian antiques and my very spacious room! I felt completely at home and the only thing I didn't care for were the staff behind the counter - not very friendly or welcoming which was quite disappointing. Aside from that, I loved everything and will definitely stay there again!

My husband and I stayed here last week and we were so pleasantly surprised by this unexpected little oasis of a hotel. It is almost as if you are transported to a tropical destination. The grounds were beautiful, the room was spacious, clean, and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. I also have to mention that the food at the restaurant was delicious. We went back for breakfast because dinner was wonderful (we got an appetizer and two salads). Everything was fresh and flavorful. The staff were super friendly and attentive. For a budget hotel, we had an outstanding stay.
