An Exceptional Family Getaway - Exceeded All Expectations! Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5 Stars) Review: Our recent 3-day,2-night stay was nothing short of phenomenal. From the moment we arrived until we (reluctantly) left, every detail was perfect. A huge standout was the breakfast—it was absolutely superb and far beyond our expectations. The variety and quality were excellent, and it was a fantastic start to our days, especially with our family. What truly made our stay memorable, however, was the incredible friendliness of the entire team. We were greeted with genuine smiles by everyone: from the front office who ensured a smooth check-in, the security who made us feel safe, the bell hops who were always helpful, the cafe staff who were so attentive, to the housekeeping team who kept our room impeccable. Even the staff at the pool and gym were wonderful and engaging. It’s clear that this hotel has a culture of excellent service, and it made our family trip so relaxing and enjoyable. We will definitely be returning. Great job and well done to the entire team! 👍👍👍
