5.6/10 (4 reviews)
Be warned: The pictures you're seeing of this property on Expedia tell only a fraction of the story. Upon arrival, our Uber driver had a hard time finding the entrance. Why? Because the weathered sign doesn't make it clear as to where or if there's a lobby.

9/10 Wonderful! (690 reviews)
Beautiful hotel in a stunning location. The staff was incredible, and the food was amazing. The room was spacious and well equipped, but it just needs some TLC. Bathrooms are outdated, as is the pool. However, overall, it was a great experience.
