Our stay at the hotel was truly enjoyable with spacious rooms and fantastic spa facilities. The dining experience was nearly perfect, with great quality food, though the menu could offer more variety. The atmosphere during meals was delightful, with attentive service. However, we encountered a few minor issues that need attention, particularly related to the outdoor lounge areas and some treatments not meeting expectations.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the spa treatments were outstanding and the package deal was a great value, the communication issues regarding booking and some dining mishaps took away from the overall enjoyment. The room was decent but had some cleanliness issues, and the dining experience had its ups and downs. Overall, it was a good value if you focus on the spa and activities, but some improvements are definitely needed.

I had high hopes for my stay, especially after hearing great things about the spa. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, but both the spa and dining experiences fell short of my expectations due to cleanliness issues and food quality. Overall, while the location has potential, it's clear that maintenance and service need significant improvement to match the price paid.

While the hotel presents a lovely ambiance with spacious rooms and pleasant dining options, the spa facilities and cleanliness of certain areas left much to be desired. The dining experience at the Fairway Grill was a highlight, but the spa was chaotic and not as relaxing as expected. Overall, it was a mixed experience for the price paid.

I recently spent a weekend at the hotel for a spa break with friends. The spa treatments were nice, and we loved the luxurious rooms and attentive staff. However, the pool was overcrowded, which made it difficult to relax, and breakfast was a bit chaotic with long queues. Overall, while it was enjoyable, I wouldn't recommend it during busy holiday periods due to the crowding.
