Overall, we had a lovely stay at the hotel with its stunning architecture and great leisure facilities. The staff was warm and welcoming, enhancing our experience. However, dining could be improved as we found some meals to be subpar, and the pool was too crowded during peak times. Additionally, minor issues like the dated decor in rooms and some places needing upkeep were noted.
