I had an amazing long weekend at ICONA, where I attended a wedding. The hotel is stunning, right on the beach, and the rooms were incredibly spacious and comfortable. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, but I did have a not-so-great experience with one bartender. Overall, it's a fantastic place for both relaxation and fun, with beautiful grounds and great amenities. Just be prepared for a bit of a walk to the ocean!
