The bed is not overly firm, exactly the type I want it. But if you are looking for elegant carpet, fancy tiles and 24/7 full concierge service with valet parking, this place is not for you. Again, all your basic amenities are here. #4- The property is sturdyly built on top of volcanic rocks, all types of room have the rustic beach cottage look/feel, and the rooms function that way, no fancy wall art or expensive decor, just straight up quality wood cabin feel with adequate air conditioning.
