a AMAZING stay!
great transportplush dinnerworn furniture
i stayed at the hotel for 3 nights and i wished i could have stayed longer. the organization on arrival and transport was great, every detail was covered. it was so refreshing to swim in the mermaid pool before breakfast, and the black tie dinner was plush!
i did notice the room decor, though typical of the period, could use a little sprucing up. i think a small investment in refreshing the decor would elevate the whole experience even further. some of the furniture looked a bit worn.
