The property was beautiful in an antique way. The check in process took far too long considering we were there much later than usual check in but they still didn't have a room ready. Other than that incident the staff was polite/helpful. The spa was absolutely lovely. I highly recommend the spa.

Air Con is minimal. Rooms are musty. Bathroom fan is always on and NOISY. Pool was drained without being informed when we made reservations. When it is usable, it is amazing - so this was very disappointing. The staff are always incredible.
