The balconies were nice, the overall facility was nice, the spa was excellent, and it is very understandable why this is a popular place! It's expensive but what isn't these days! WARNING ⚠️ One thing that really bothered me was the amount of spiders & spider webs surrounding the bedposts, and throughout the facility (i.e., light fixtures in the dining room, cobwebs
