I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were incredibly spacious with a stunning view over the golf course, but it was a bit chilly even with the air conditioning off. The service was warm and attentive, making my stay feel special. However, the dining experience was quite frustrating, especially with the confusing breakfast options. The location was exceptionally beautiful, which made up for some of the shortcomings.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, appreciating the spacious and beautiful rooms that were very clean. The views were exceptional, adding to the inviting atmosphere.
