Our stay was nothing short of amazing! The hotel offered a perfect blend of relaxation and luxury, with attention to detail that truly impressed us. The room was comfortable and well-equipped, while the food in the restaurant was exceptional. The only downside was a slight wait for service at times, but it didn't detract much from our overall experience. We can't wait to come back!

While the aesthetic charm and room quality were high points, dining experiences varied; lunch was underwhelming but dinner exceeded expectations. One downside was the parking situation, as it can be quite challenging.

My recent stay was truly a mix of highs and lows. The spa facilities including the indoor/outdoor pool were fantastic, offering a great place to unwind. However, the condition of the rooms was disappointing, feeling quite run down and not aligning with the advertised quality. The service varied, with some staff being attentive while others seemed overwhelmed and less helpful. Overall, while there were enjoyable aspects like the spa and relaxing atmosphere, improvements are definitely needed in room quality and dining options.
