Nice Venue but Not 5-Star Service
Lovely setting. Great pool. But far from 5-star service from in room dining to breakfast and checkout and food was mediocre. Poor soundproofing meant noisy wedding music permeation until 2.30am. Have stayed before. Still like it but will come with lower expectations than it suggests.

Lovely oasis
Lovely stay, amazing staff and friendly service. Pool was booked out the of arrival which was a disappointment so make sure to book in advance! Garden is lovely. There was a movie room for kids. Breakfast was good with very quick service. Beautiful bathroom. Bed very comfortable. Children's channels would be nice to get few extra moments of peace in the morning.

We booked for a one night stay but ended up staying a second night. From the moment of our arrival the staff were exemplary. Our bedroom was so relaxing with one of the most comfortable beds and pillows I've ever come across in a hotel. The food was so flavourful and delicious. Such a lovely atmosphere with some of the best trained staff were nothing is too much to ask them and your comfort is what matters. A beautiful place and I wanted to stay longer.

Nice quiet place, bed very luxurious, breakfast was top notch. Knocked it down a star because you have to make an appointment to go to the hotel pool ( that’s free). There were limited spots, and I know there wasn’t a full pool at 7 am when I wanted to go before breakfast. This prevented me from swimming and made me sad.
