Editorial review

Everything about this beautiful resort is praised, from its gorgeous grounds to the staff that bends over backwards for you. John and Jackie Kennedy once honeymooned here. The attractive cottages are tucked away and the food is great. It's expensive here, but it's worth it after the recent renovation.

                                    The service was perfect, the room was immaculate from the canopy bed to the private backyard and the restaurants we went to outside of YSL were nice. Dinner was delicious.

                                    We contacted the front desk and the housekeeping, and was able to get back, the rooms we have had were spectacularly decorated and elegantly appointed, the restaurant was wonderful and the service was excellent.

                                    Lovely staff and comfortable furniture. A private jacuzzi, breakfast also disappointing and fresh berries, other fruit as well as delicious pastries. Dinner was wonderful and the chocolate truffles we found waiting for us.
