I love everything about this hotel. The design is elegant, minimalistic, and timeless. The grounds are stunning; the pool view alone is worth a visit. The thing that really makes the Alila stand out, though, is the staff. The service is impeccable. Everyone goes out of the way to make sure you’re taken care of, but the thing that sets this hotel apart from other amazing hotels is that it comes from a place of genuine care. The people who work there seem to treat looking after others not as a job but as more of a calling. It’s extraordinary, really. I think it’s part of what makes you feel so relaxed while you’re there. At the risk of sounding hyperbolic, I’d say that staying at this hotel is positively soul filling. It’s one of my all-time faves.
