“The bay views here are quite something, a constant, beautiful backdrop from many vantage points, including the dining area and spacious rooms. I found the grounds, especially considering recent weather, well-maintained and the spa facilities, including a warm pool, to be a definite highlight. The staff, though occasionally needing a translator, were consistently helpful, contributing to a stay that felt remarkably well-valued.”
