Amazing experience
Pros:

- The location was great
- The staff received us so nicely and showed us where to shop around town which was very thoughtful
- The facilities like the steam room or Jacuzzi were a great experience

Cons:

No complaints, but just a thought we had was the breakfast was slightly more expensive than we expected but maybe it's the standard now.
