The only regret we had was booking Sacred Waters overnight. We wanted to stay longer and are already planning coming back. It was the perfect cozy stay with complete amenities, L’Occitane bath supplies and absolutely breathtaking views. Check in and check out was smooth. Thank you
Great property! Superb location and view. Easy to find very easy check-in process. Staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming. Apartment was stunning. Would definitely return and highly recommend.
