Reviews and Ratings
I had high hopes for my five-night stay at the hotel, but unfortunately, it fell short of expectations. The rooms were dirty, dusty, and had mold in places. I reached out to Reception but haven't received a response yet regarding a partial refund or compensatory nights. The price was steep at over $1700 for five nights, and the lack of cleanliness was disappointing. I wouldn't consider staying here again unless the issues are resolved promptly.
The hotel overlooks a lake and offers a pleasant stay in a quiet area, with convenient access to local amenities. The rooms need refurbishment due to dated elements and lack of proper cleaning, but they are spacious enough for a family. The service, although accommodating, fell short due to being understaffed. Dining options are good, with a nice range of choices at a reasonable price. The facilities need some improvement to match the quality expected.
The hotel offers comfortable and spacious rooms with a stale cigarette smoke odor, fantastic floor plans, and balconies. Despite the odd room configuration, it provides all the comforts of home. The service is a mix of amazing and flustered experiences, with staff being happy and smiley but sometimes overwhelmed due to understaffing. The location, although secluded, is great for a relaxed getaway, boasting open views and big pools. The dining experience is enjoyable with delicious food but may come with surprises on the bill. The facilities are well-maintained, and the hotel provides a welcoming atmosphere.
