A little bit of heaven!
Pros:

What an experience! What luxury! What a beautiful hotel! From arrival to departure we‘ve been treated like royalty. The room was beautifully laid out with the biggest bed we have ever seen! The food and drink was great and the service was exceptional, especially Nandy and Aitor, but all of the staff were wonderful. Well worth the price of the stay!
