Great location and overall beautiful hotel.
Pros:

Daily access to the spa facilities. Daily happy hour. On site meals. Coffee was very good. Friendly staff. Deluxe Bay Window room was spacious. Outdoor terrace seating for meals was a comfortable.

Cons:

My daughter and I stayed for 7 nights. The staff on the first half of the trip was much more helpful, friendlier and accommodating. It was a bit disappointing but it didn't change our high review for the hotel.
