Very good

This was a beautiful hotel and we absolutely loved the views. It can be a little noisy since it is such a small place and privacy is minimal. The staff are beyond kind and extremely hospitable. We would have given 5 stars if the food was better and if there were "do not disturb signs" as the maids walked right in our room a couple times.
