The location of this hotel is stunning. The view from our room was breathtaking and the room itself was amazing. However, during our stay the hotel was experiencing plumbing issues and there was no running water in the room and no other open rooms had functioning plumbing. Staff brought up water to flush toilets and wash our hands. A shower would have been welcomed after the long hot day. I was disappointed no discount was provided as we were unable to fully use the facilities in the room. I would still return again (as long as the water is functional).
