lovely retreat

cute staffspacious roomcharming atmosphereon-site restaurants
i found the staff cute and kind. the room was surprisingly spacious and clean (everything i hoped for!). the poolside tiki lounge had such a charming atmosphere, i really enjoyed a relaxing afternoon there. i liked the convenience of having two on-site restaurants, it made dining so easy.
i noticed a slight musty odor in the hallway, though it didn't affect my room.
Location
