The view was really good and the facilities were fantastic. Everything i could have asked for. the staff were cute and so helpful. the shuttle bus service made life easy, though town is only about a 30 minute walk away.

There was work going on throughout the stay. i had to walk to the top of the road to get taxis, given how narrow the entrance was.
