Good Location

Location: Some very good restaurants are walking distance from the hotel. The high end shopping at the Blue Mall connecting thru the JW Marriott its worth
The hotel has been remodel almost completely. There still some construction under way, but when finished it will be awesome.

Amazing place!

I recently attended a wedding here and decided to stay on premises. I was so amazed with the service and the grounds! The service was amazing from beginning to end, and although the rooms are dated they are still functional and the actual hotel grounds are breathtaking. Pros: The staff is wonderful, we attended a wedding on 7/16 at the Garden Tent and our server who's name was very unique (Fabri or Frauly) was very attentive. He came up to us with drinks and whatever we needed the entire night. The next day my family and I were at the pool and when he came in for his next shift he came up to us to say hello and even asked us if we needed anything (look for him at the restaurant near the pool in the evenings). Socrates at the front desk was also extremely helpful, he always made himself available and treated us respectfully. The grounds are a real big treat especially if you are a nature lover. The gardens are beautiful and since the hotel has been around for such a long time the TREES!! OMG the TREES!! they are gorgeous. They are old and very well kept. They even have a habitat of parakeets in this beautiful tree in the front of the hotel. Cons: the rooms are not the nicest but still very functional and the breakfast buffet is not worth the price unless its already included in your stay. All in all, this hotel was more than anything I expected. I can't wait to go back!!
