10.0 Wonderful
Pros:Accommodations
Cons:Despite informing them of a birthday celebration during dinner, there was no recognition. Many people I have spoken to, said that when told about a birthday they make some kind of recognition. Disappointed.
A
10.0 Wonderful
Pros:I've always wanted to stay here but never had the opportunity. The experience lived up to every aspect of what I hoped it would be. My uniquely decorated room was not only fun to look at, but I slept like a dream. The surrounding grounds are beautiful, with a Secret Garden and good restaurant/bars. The pool is also beautiful -- that's where I decided to watch the sunrise. Great experience!

A
9.7 Wonderful
Pros:Everywhere you look you find amazement at the decor Fun and entertaining. The staff are most accommodating! Great getaway!
A
2.0 Poor
Pros:Nothing worth mentioning.
Cons:Almost non existence service, rude staffs other than the couple at the registration counter. The room has no curtains or shades, except stained glass window. The lights are so bright outside, making it impossible to sleep at night! The heater in the room is extremely loud. The place is so poorly insulated and drafty, that you don't have any choice but to turn it on in winter. This place is a over priced motel coated in pink.
A
9.7 Wonderful

Cons:The breakfast was a little burnt but that is the first time eating breakfast there...I just hope it was a fluke!
