This is some kind of paradise. I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed staying here. You have created a superb place. The atmosphere, design, food and environment are all perfect. I have been in hotels from Havana to Delhi and can honestly say that this is a place that I will remember as one of the very best. A special place with special people and big ol' Storm keeping it safe.
