    Great hospitality

    This was our first vacation with our puppy and the result was we want to go back as soon as possible. The staff had amazing hospitality along with the amenities which are too long to list, but among our favorites were the complimentary lemonade and cookies at night. Our favorite part besides the beautiful architecture was the champagne breakfast, and all the different seasonal foods that were amazing. But even better the service from the cooks, the hostesses, especially Brenda & Vicente, who were very attentive and personable. She checked in with us and our puppy to make sure we were taking care of on drinks and food and even consistently asked if our puppy Scooby needed any water or anything. Five out of five bones. We are recommending this location to all our fellow pet parents looking for a relaxing getaway
