Reviews and Ratings
I felt completely relaxed in the beautifully designed rooms set in lush gardens. The rooms were spacious, modern, and very comfy, offering a beautiful swim-to-room setup. Although the location is perfect for enjoying and relaxing, it might not be ideal for extended stays.
The hotel offers a spacious and lovely stay with great attention to detail in a tranquil location, perfect for relaxing. The service is exceptional despite challenges, and the dining experience is delicious and plentiful. However, some issues with lighting and management oversight affect the overall experience.
The hotel had amazing rooms that were huge, incredible, and very well-maintained, along with stylish and comfortable bathrooms. The service was exceptional, with staff always willing to go above and beyond, although there was a serious omission of key personnel. The location, though beautiful with wine farms nearby, had some disturbances at night but was perfect for relaxation. The dining experience, while not expansive, was delicious with some exceptional dishes. Overall, the hotel provided a great stay with a few minor drawbacks.
