Not all the rooms here are created equal, in the fact the hotel has a significant number of suites which all have their own character.

It feels like you're in a history museum and it has to leave. Be sure to book a room with an ocean view- you won't regret it. There are two pools at the property one indoor pool and an outdoor one. Given the sizes of these they rarely feel highly occupied. Love the hallway carpeting with the distinct shade of blue scattered with bumble bees which I think is the same as the guerlain logo.
