I had a lovely time at this resort spa, relishing the high-quality dining and beautiful surroundings. The staff were remarkably attentive and friendly, making sure we felt welcome. However, there was a hiccup during our dining experience with a delay in serving coffee and tea, which detracted from an otherwise charming atmosphere. Overall, it offered great value for a relaxing retreat.

Our recent stay was a mix of highs and lows. We found the room to be clean and comfortable, which was a definite plus. However, we were let down by the lack of dining options and the absence of staff during evening hours. The facilities also left something to be desired, especially considering the price point. Overall, while the friendliness of the staff was commendable, the overall experience did not meet our expectations for a resort spa.

We had a wonderful time at this hotel! The surroundings are peaceful, and the staff made us feel incredibly welcome with their attentive service. The dining experience was exceptional, although the menu could have offered more variety. Our room was spacious and clean, but it faced the back, so we missed out on the stunning views of the golf course. Overall, the value for the quality received is outstanding.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which is beautifully set beside a golf course. The dining experience was outstanding, with high-quality meals that were well-presented. The room was spacious and comfortably decorated, although I wish there was a full-length mirror and better temperature control for the shower. Overall, great value for the price.
