7.0/10

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.
