I had a lovely stay at this hotel with some notable highlights and a few areas for improvement. The spa services were exceptional and really added to the relaxing atmosphere, while the dining experience was quite good. However, certain aspects like the breakfast service felt disorganized at times, and I think there could be more attention paid to the overall state of the rooms. I enjoyed the beautiful views and the friendly staff made my visit memorable.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, enjoying the fantastic spa experience, which was a highlight of the trip. While the initial check-in process was frustrating due to a delay, the staff was very understanding and worked to resolve the issue, leading to a spacious and enjoyable room after all. The dining experience was also commendable, with delicious meals, though I had to consider staff recommendations for certain dishes. However, some noise from a wedding reception did detract somewhat from the overall experience.

I had a fantastic spa day with friends, enjoying relaxing treatments and a delightful afternoon tea. The pool area was lovely, and we appreciated the attentive service throughout the day. However, there were some minor issues with privacy on the terrace and one friend's experience with reception was disappointing. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and worth the value for money.

Overall, my experience at the hotel had its highs and lows. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, although there were some cleanliness issues in common areas. While the bar staff were fantastic and made the stay more enjoyable, the breakfast options were overpriced, and the service during afternoon tea left much to be desired. I felt the extra charges for early check-in and breakfast were a bit excessive considering the overall experience.

I had a rather mixed experience at this hotel. While the staff was very helpful and attentive, and the golf courses were in excellent condition, my room was quite disappointing due to its low ceiling and worn appearance. The dining options for golfers were notably inferior to those offered to regular guests, which was frustrating. Overall, it’s a decent place, but there are significant areas that need improvement.
