I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the management was extremely helpful in processing a refund for my canceled booking, which I greatly appreciated, the overall quality of the room left much to be desired. There were bugs in the toilet and on the carpet, making the stay less comfortable. The heat pump was directly facing the bed and created an uncomfortable breeze, which disrupted my sleep. The location offered beautiful views, but the room quality did not match the scenery.

My recent stay was quite disappointing overall. The room was spacious but in urgent need of decor upgrades and cleaning. The service was severely lacking, especially during breakfast where we faced slow and inadequate service. While the location has its merits and could be beautiful, the current state does not reflect that. I won't be returning, unfortunately.

Rooms
5.0
The room was large, but the decor was tired with over 20 cracked tiles in the bathroom. It definitely needs some TLC and a better cleaning regimen.
Service

The service was very poor; we encountered a distinct lack of staff during our breakfast which caused delays and dissatisfaction.

Even though the location has potential with beautiful views, it was somewhat inconvenient for my travel plans.

Breakfast was a buffet, but alas, it took a long time to replenish the empty trays, and we had to pay extra for fried eggs, which felt unreasonable.

The facilities appeared neglected, which was disheartening - I could see the potential but it was not being realized.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the venue offers exceptional views and a lovely environment, the dining arrangements were disappointing, especially with a large group. The overall condition of the resort feels like it's still in need of some improvements, particularly in service and maintenance. Overall, it's a place of great potential but not without its issues.

The dining experience was quite disappointing. We had limited options and our dinner was essentially just pizza, which didn't feel premium at all.

The resort is currently undergoing renovations, which is a positive sign, but many areas look unfinished and could be better maintained.

I had a fantastic experience at this golf resort. The service was amazing, especially from the staff who truly went above and beyond during my stay. The rooms were spacious and well-kept, but I did face a minor issue with housekeeping not replenishing my coffee. Overall, it was a great golf getaway, but there were some hiccups in service during an event I attended.

I had a mixed experience at this resort. While the views are absolutely stunning, the accommodations are in desperate need of maintenance and a refresh. The service was lacking during my stay, especially during an event where staff seemed overwhelmed. Considering the price point, I expected more in terms of food quality and overall service efficiency.

Rooms

The rooms were a decent size but felt dated and not up to the standard I expected for a four-star resort. They could use some urgent maintenance and a deep clean.
