Beautiful new hotel

This is a beautiful new hotel just opened in September 2024. The rooms are large tastefully decorated and comfortable. The pool area is beautiful with a large indoor pool and large hot tub. The breakfast area is large with lots of tables. The breakfast was good but more protein options are a must. The only protein option is a hard boiled egg. The coffee was great. Thanks for the great stay.
