This property is stunning. So much to do you don’t even need to leave the hotel. The staff are bizarrely friendly, so helpful and charming. I’d say the only surprise that we had to adjust to was the music by the pool is loud and plays late into the night and starts again at 9 am every morning. The walls are thin so we heard our neighbors TVs. They do provide earplugs - so it’s fine. I want to go back already, I loved this hotel.

I stayed here with my daughter and BFF and we had a fabulous time. This hotel is beautiful and takes retro style to a whole new level of amazingness. The attention to detail is impeccable. The pool is beautiful; it’s like being transported to the height of the 1950s or 1960s and made us feel like we stepped into a glamorous era. We saw women with full body tattoos and older ladies with flowered bathing caps. It’s super popular at night and don’t miss brunch on the outside patio overlooking the pool and dinner at Quixote! There’s so much to do and I can’t wait to come back!
