The hotel grounds and room were beautiful, reception and spa staff were friendly but breakfast staff not so much. Spa facilities were decent, though the steam room and swimsuit dryer were out of order. Breakfast had a good selection of foods, though some of it was lukewarm and it took around 30 mins and an additional request to have coffee brought to the table. There were oddly a lot of crumbs down the side of the upholstery at breakfast.
