This is a historic hotel that absolutely live up to its reputation. Every staff member we encountered was helpful, friendly, knowledgeable, and fun to interact with. Special notice to the Bar, which is lovely and elegant. The outdoor spaces are beautiful and the beach and pool areas are clean and large enough to accommodate plenty of guests. Lovely stay.
