that right now is peak tourist season and one side of the island is usually elbow to elbow people. But the hotel is beautiful and the other side you can rent a bike and see amazing scenery. I haven't stayed at the hotel but I dined there. Oh, and if she's never seen it, watch the movie "Somewhere in Time."
