Kim and Ben Hall, Portland, OR, USA

April 22, 2004 – Where to begin... First, let me commend the staff, for without an excellent staff, the best hotel is nothing but a building. And without good management, the staff has no direction. So, I praise the owner. The room is complete, nothing lacking, all amenities though of. The grounds are immaculate, perfectly manicured. The building itself is a glory to experience. The architecture is a fitting compliment to the most beautiful site on the island. All the media accolades are just, yet it must be experienced to be truly appreciated. I shall sing Hotel Secreto’s praises. I am loathing to leave. Perhaps I can pull a Howard Hughes and just move in… My sincere gratitude and until next time.
