The pool area with a treehouse and a suspended bed. The staff was great, we arrived early and they placed us in their Cinema & Library until the receptionist arrived. Staff was helpful with any questions and assistance we needed.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Everything was great overall. The only issue was that I was double charged for the stay. I had paid through Expedia, but at check-in the staff didn’t see the payment, so I paid again. Later, the hotel issued a refund once the mistake was discovered. Other than that, it was a wonderful stay and I really enjoyed it.
