The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Meals

The breakfast each morning was always a treat, with options like smoothies and fresh fruit. Henry provided good entrees, and I absolutely loved the tuna and avocado salad. Every meal was fantastic, including the sinful fried ice cream. Dining outdoors with the stars above made it even more special.
