Beautiful flower gardens, nice breakfast dining area. Only negative is no “other than pork” options fore breakfast. Some people don’t eat pork for various reasons. There needs to be a turkey sausage or turkey bacon option as well for example, considering the high price of the accomodations

El hotel es muy bueno, sus desayunos son excelentes, se duerme muy bien y estas cerca a todos los lugares turisticos. El unico detalle que no me agrado fue tener que pagar el parqueo diario del carro, es el primer hotel al que vamos que este servicio no esta incluido.
