The outward features of the hotel are beyond opulent, and the staff are great. Diningroom service was fantastic, the dinners artistic and creative, and the room lovely, clean and spacious. The beautiful swimmingpool, however was "not ready" for use in the first week of May, and there was a whiff of sewer about the place from time to time.
The complimentary breakfasts were beyond great, with a huge variety of choices; orange juice so fresh, you could squeeze it yourself, and every morning, a fresh loaf of the local specialty, buffalo ricotta cheese, on the table.
The hotel is not on the beach, but within easy access to a lovely, fine sand beach with lounge chairs and another swimming pool.
