Its a wonderful classic colonel property. Its very old and the elevator is very charming. The grounds are wonderful and the pools are well maintained and served very well by the staff.

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful hotel perfect for families. We loved how nice and friendly all the staff were and the common areas, Gardens, restaurants and pools nice and clean. However the room we stood was a little outdated and the bath tub in the bathroom was very high making it very difficult for kids and dangerous to go in and out. Overall we enjoyed our stay!
