Travelocity Verified Review
"This entire hotel is absolutely gorgeous. From the koment you walk in, theres beautiful artwork, its clean, and all around great vibes. Staff was very friendly. Room was clean, modern and beautiful. Very comfortable and even had a cute little outdoor seating area. The pool was open! Big heated pool, huge hot tub, lots of comfortable seating and access to the bar, you can even bring your drinks outside to the pool/hottub area! We lived this hotel so much and will definitely be staying here again."
