The hotel rooms and grounds are immaculate and beautiful. However, the Amaya restaurant has changed its menu and atmosphere since it was bought by the Fairmont chain. The menu selection is more limited and the dinnerware is plain and quite frankly ugly. The water glasses look more like plastic tumblers that don't match the beautiful decor and ambiance of the surroundings. I love this location, but I wish it would return to it's original magic of before.
