decent stay, some minor issues

peaceful grounds delicious breakfast breakfast menu unwelcoming staff snake concern delayed assistance
the grounds were beautiful and very peaceful. breakfast was delicious, it came from a menu instead of a buffet. it did take a while to get the food. i would plan at least an hour for breakfast.
the evening staff was not very cute. i asked a staff member to check the room for snakes. this staff member was not friendly at all. i called reception for help fixing the door, but no one came after waiting an hour.
