My partner and I stayed there in February 2007 and were totally impressed by the cleanliness, beauty of the property, the staff, etc. We travel extensively and this is one of the nicest, if not the nicest place we have ever stayed. We are going back in June 2007. Great value and impeccable. Ken, USA
