    Cool place to visit! Chapel under construction so missed out on that. Still worth it to see the location.
  • By Franco Z
    This service academy is one of the nicest, the views are stunning. Everything is so well maintained, and everyone is so pleasant. We took a tour of campus and it was totally work it. The chapel alone made the trip complete. If you get the chance you must go see. You will not be disappointed.
