I've never stayed in anything quite like this. It's truly a castle! Beautiful rooms with high ceilings, gilded moldings, tile murals, lovely linens, art. Gated entry and parking on site. Shout out to Joanna and Pedro, receptionists who lugged bags and passed along birthday notification to the breakfast staff, who serenaded my daughter on her birthday that morning.
