Review Score: 10

Summary: Beautiful property! This was my first time here. The only problems were: 1) There was no coffee available in the morning until you were seated. Most hotels I have been to have a coffee station. We were told the person at the front desk could give us a cup of coffee but it would be only black coffee. 2) There was only 1 waiter during breakfast time on Monday morning, so the service was very slow.
