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.

I had an enjoyable stay at this hotel which is beautifully set in a picturesque area, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The rooms were spacious and well-kept, although the dining experience could use some improvement, especially at breakfast. Overall, the amenities, particularly the spa facilities, did not meet the high expectations I had based on the hotel's branding. It's a nice place for relaxation, but be prepared for some inconsistencies in service and value.
