Positive: Beautiful grounds and service! Loved complimentary yoga in the morning.
Negative: We had multiple issues with our room. The a/c didn’t work the first night. Toilet had flushing issue. There were 3 of us in a room and only 2 seats on the balcony. Had to request more. Staff was very responsive and accommodating… It was too expensive to have these kinds of issues!
Summary: Beautiful grounds and service but room needs work!
