My stay at the resort was a mixed bag. While the rooms were clean and spacious, offering comfort, the overall service was lacking, with minimal staff and disorganization in the dining area. The location is beautiful, nestled by a lovely golf course, but the dining options were quite disappointing, with only one restaurant open. There's definitely room for improvement in management and facilities, especially given the potential of this resort.

The hotel has a beautiful setting, but it desperately needs some attention. Our room was not very clean, and the breakfast area was poorly maintained, impacting our overall experience. While the rooms are decent in size, the cleanliness and upkeep were disappointing. Service also fell short, especially when it came to booking. It's not worth the regular rates, and we wouldn't stay here again without significant improvements.

During my stay, I found the hotel to be quite peculiar, as it seemed to lack effective management. Although the staff was generally helpful, they appeared undertrained, and it was frustrating that many amenities were not fully operational. The food options were limited, and the confusion at meal times was disappointing. The location is decent for golf enthusiasts, but being unable to access certain areas in my own car was a letdown. Overall, it needs significant improvement to match its billing.
Rooms

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the good side, the views were incredible, and the breakfast was fresh and varied. On the downside, the communication with staff was lacking, the air conditioning wasn't effective, and the spa experience left much to be desired. Though the location was beautiful and the room itself was enjoyable, I can't help but feel that there were some significant shortcomings.
