Over all amazing location and unique. But I’m not sure I would be back

8.0

The hotel is very unique, like travelling back in time. The views from hotel in the evening are amazing. The infinity pool was amazing with spectacular views

My room very nosy. The balcony doors and windows are not sound proof at all. I could hear cars below which made it difficult to sleep. The breakfast buffet was mediocre
