The hotel boasts beautiful grounds and friendly service, making it a lovely retreat. However, I was disappointed by the outdated room conditions and numerous hidden fees that added significantly to the cost. While the location is convenient for nearby attractions, the overall experience didn't match the expectations set by the hotel's branding.

Our stay was quite enjoyable with beautiful surroundings and a peaceful atmosphere that felt like an escape. The staff really went above and beyond to make our experience special, and we loved the variety of dining options available. However, we did encounter some service hiccups, particularly when it came to responsiveness to our concerns. Additionally, the resort fees felt a bit high compared to our expectations.

My stay at this hotel was quite the mixed bag. On one hand, the property is gorgeous and truly feels like a serene oasis with beautiful grounds. The service was impeccable for the most part, making me feel welcomed during my visit. However, I faced some disappointments with noise disturbances at night and issues with housekeeping that left me questioning the overall experience. Plus, I wasn't a fan of the additional resort fees that caught me off guard. If you're looking for a peaceful escape, just be prepared for a few hiccups along the way.
