Ancient Ilida

Beautiful setting - The unit we stayed in, the buildings and grounds in general, and the views were all stunning! Horrible path to get to the location - The path up to the hotel is steep and narrow with sharp turns, and when we visited it wasn't a pleasant or pretty drive up. That said, it was worth the effort! Lovely staff - lovely in every way. Odd meal hours - Breakfast starts at 8, which seems late given the number of early-morning cruises and tours in the area. The schedule states the dining room is open until 10, but I was told the kitchen closes at 9:30 so they have time to clean and prepare for the next day. It might be best to simply say they close at 9:30 to avoid mis-communication. Superb food - Both breakfast and the dinner we had were superb. We would be thrilled to return to this property.

Premium location and staff. Hope to return.
