I had a wonderful time at the hotel, enjoying the large, luxurious rooms with private pools and an exceptional spa that truly rejuvenated me. The staff was attentive and friendly, making my stay more enjoyable.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room was initially disappointing as it didn't match what I booked and had a view of a public pathway. However, the staff was accommodating and eventually found me a better room with a pool view. While I enjoyed the spa and some dining options, there were inconsistencies in the service and cleanliness that detracted from the overall experience. A mixed bag, but worth considering for the right expectation.

My stay was remarkable, enjoying both the tranquility of my spacious suite with a private pool and the overall serene atmosphere of the well-designed hotel grounds. The friendly interactions with staff, especially at the pool bar, added a personal touch to my experience. Although I was delighted with the amenities, the dining options, especially at some of the a-la-carte restaurants, fell short of my expectations, and higher drink prices were noticeable. Overall, a fantastic getaway, but with some areas needing improvement.
