A little taste of heaven
Pros:

The breakfast was amazing, so many options to choose from and you can go back as many times as you’d like. Very accommodating, the staff is professional and always to the tee. They wouldn’t even let me clean after myself after a dropped my cake. My room was beautiful and spacious for my birthday trip. The housekeeper were always on time, kind, and mindful and left the room feeling brand new. I definitely recommend Protea and I’m definitely betting my moneys worth and coming back.

Cons:

I liked everything, what’s there not to like?!🥺❤️
