1. This was my second time at this resort for business trips--unfortunately did not have much time to enjoy it this time around, but this place is a gorgeous, converted and modernized old mansion--gorgeous grounds with several courtyards with fountains, seating, fireplaces, palm trees, flowers, etc, etc.
