  • "I can’t say enough good things about our stay there"

    From the moment we arrived until even after checkout, Tali and Dani made us feel so welcome and at home. I can’t say enough good things about our stay there, from the location to the amenities/ accommodations, fantastic breakfast, and not to mention the hospitality from every staff member. We feel so fortunate to have found this place and cannot wait to go back.
