Eager to experiance again
The buildings and their interior decorations were top class. We felt as if we were in a beautiful home instead of a hotel unit, which is difficult to achieve. The restaurant had a beautiful setting, overlooking the pristine beach and blue waters and served up gourmet quisine all day. What was the most fun for us though, was being able to explore the historical grounds. From remnants of the old railway system, to home ruins, to a secret staircase that allowed women to bathe in privacy centuries ago, there was always something to find.

The hotel looked like a castle, my wife and I felt like royalty. We never had such a great luxuirious feeling of utter relaxation by just being in this hotel. \nIt was like being in a dream world.
