This hotel is very historical and very much for me. My great grandfather managed it as part of the original intercontinental group back in the 50’s. So I was excited to go and see it. The hotel is beautiful and the pool outstanding. The staff including front desk and cleaning crew were not very responsive or helpful. The overall condition of the hotel was bad. The airconditioning in our room was cold but also super humid. The system was not working right. The food at the poolside was not good we tried it once. The breakfast was very good and tasty we ate it every day. Overall my experience was good but not memorable.

This was a beautiful hotel that needs some work on the rooms. Our room was spacious but it wreaked of mildew. I had to wash all our clothes when we got home. There were chips on the bathroom door jam. The water pressure in the shower was very low, and in a handicapped bathroom there should be a handheld shower head. The absolute most wonderful part was the staff, highly professional, helpful, attentive, even going so far as to try to speak English to me! lol They were very helpful to me and my elderly father in law up and down ramps. Very kind people. We ate at the buffet for breakfast and the restaurant most meals and the food was excellent. The service was very good. We would stay there again but maybe in a different room.
