I felt like I was in a colonial paradise with beautiful rooms and amazing gardens, although the pesky mosquitos were a downside. The staff was incredibly polite and attentive, making our stay feel special. The location was captivating, nestled in lush gardens yet close to local attractions. The dining experience was divine, and the facilities were top-notch.
