Our stay at the hotel was mixed. While we enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere and beautiful spa, our room felt outdated and not quite up to the standards one would expect for a five-star resort. Staff were friendly and helpful, which made a positive difference. However, the dining experience left much to be desired, with slow service and somewhat lackluster food options. Overall, there were some good aspects, but the hotel does need some improvements.

My stay at the hotel was a delightful experience overall. The staff was incredibly friendly and always eager to help, which made my stay enjoyable. The location was perfect, not too far from the main attractions yet still maintaining a quiet atmosphere. However, the dining options could use improvement, both in variety and pacing. The facilities were decent but could benefit from a bit of updating, especially in the spa area.

I had a splendid stay at this hotel, enjoying the beautiful grounds and peaceful atmosphere. The warm hospitality added to the experience, but I found the dining options a bit lacking in quality and variety. The room was spacious and well-maintained, though not quite the luxurious feel I expected at that price point. Overall, it's a nice place to stay with some room for improvement in the dining department.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel, enjoying its peaceful location and spacious suite with a private pool. However, some areas, especially the rooms and breakfast service, need attention. While the staff were generally attentive and friendly, the maintenance issues and lack of consistent dining quality were a letdown for a 5-star experience.
