The hotel, and town itself, felt a bit deserted. Perhaps due to the aftermath of the earthquake, as both the temple and church near the main square were closed? There were no signs directing me to the office upon entry. This was a bit confusing. The desk was also not constantly manned. The room itself was nice, and the view was spectacular. However, there were some small ants around my sink when I woke up in the morning. It was also difficult to ensure that my door was latched when it closed. I had to slam it shut, otherwise it would not latch and could be reopened. There was also no secondary lock on the door itself (no deadbolt, or latch, or chain, etc). While the grounds looked lovely, and the pool and jacuzzi appeared to be open (the covers were removed during the day, etc) - they did not appear to be maintained. The water level in the jacuzzi was lower than the nozzles. And there was debris (leaves, etc) floating in both the pool and jacuzzi. So sadly, I did not use them. The hotel has the potential to be spectacular, I don't want to make my judgment too harsh - as perhaps it is, when during 'normal' periods.. however, if tourism to the town is dead due to the earthquake's aftermath, perhaps the hotel had to cut back on costs accordingly. I wouldn't write off the hotel completely, but I would not set my expectations too high either (to avoid disappointment).
