Cute!
Cute property that's secluded and quiet. Loved that it was dog friendly and would have loved to explore more if it wasn't raining! Would be great for a girls trip or a couples weekend.

Room not available at check-in time
Check-in definitely was not a good start to this trip. Arrived at 4:15pm for check -in and I was advised to wait a few minutes while the room inspection was completed. It was not until 4:53 that we were able to get our keys. Checked a couple of times with the front desk in the meantime, but didn't seem to speed up anything.

Customer service was seriously lacking. From the room not being ready an hour and a half AFTER check in time, to no apologies or smiles from front desk staff, to long waits for breakfast from the kitchen, this was not up to par for this type of hotel/pricing. The room was beautiful but functionally poor. Lighting was so dim in the bedroom, bathroom door wouldn’t shut unless you threw your whole weight against it, tub was chipped, no bottle opener for water bottles sold as part of the mini bar, sliding door unlocked when we got to our room. No lotion as part of toiletries offered, and the AC shook and was so noisy. Very disappointed in what looked like a high level hotel (based on the prices and photos).

The steward is a hidden gem. We happen to come across by chance. It is such a lush property. We loved walking the grounds with our dog. The rooms were very clean and cozy. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We had a delicious breakfast brought out by Angel. He was so informative and pleasant as was everyone else. We will definitely be back soon. The only thing is, I think the rooms should have screens so you can enjoy the beautiful clean air without all the bugs.
