I had an experience that was quite mixed at this hotel. While the staff were genuinely warm and attentive, the dining options left a lot to be desired, especially considering the price. The rooms were spacious, but I faced issues with the air conditioning. The pool area looked inviting, but I worried about its cleanliness. Overall, I'd say the standards didn't quite reflect a true 5-star experience.

The hotel is quite pleasant overall, with lovely spacious rooms and a nice atmosphere. The breakfast was decent and the staff were kind and helpful.

I stumbled upon this hotel when my flight got canceled, and I have to say, the experience was quite a mix. The staff really went above and beyond to make me feel welcome during a stressful time. The grounds are beautiful, and the pool area is very inviting, but I ran into some issues with air conditioning and parking. Overall, it was a decent stay thanks to the great staff and facilities, but some aspects could definitely use improvement.
