The art was fabulous. The hotel is beautiful and elegant. The staff was very pleasant but seemed under-trained. Additionally, considering how upscale the facility was there were weird little things that were to the same level. For example, the sheets were coarse, some rooms had wash cloths and some didn’t (we had 3 rooms)..things like that. All in all, though, we had a great time.

Nice - could do with an update.

Lovely staff and very efficient check in. Very spacious room. Rooms are dated - esp the bathroom inc sink cracked, free standing bath not secured to floor so when getting in it moved etc.

When you staying in Spa hotel, first of all you thinking about relaxing massage you gonna get upon arrival. We were lucky to get in very fast, we both were unlucky with the service we got. Everybody is super polite and nice, but you you position yourself as Spa hotel with massage services-train your staff to do proper massage, both of us got something far away what calls massage. It’s one of one 10. First disappointment. Room was very his and specious, dated, but that’s fine. Water pressure could be better, maybe because shower was leaking? Front desk ladies very polite and helpful. Restaurant ladies all very helpful, for breakfast and dinner. Nice walking path. Would I go back, if I ever in that area? Probably, no.

Hotel is a bit dated but very clean. Staff were extremely friendly but they were very under staffed so service was let down by that. The big disappointment was the food. Very expensive for poor quality food. Definitely need to change the menu or bring the food to a higher standard

Upgrades are a downgrade

Bought a trip as a gift and upgraded to a premium room. I had noticed beforehand that standard rooms seemed nicer but couldn't believe that was true. It is! Felt embarrassed when my mother in law visited our room having been told hers was the upgraded room.

Stay elsewhere

The main issue was that the bedroom was incredibly hot and neither the aircon nor window could cool it. Couldn't sleep. The swimming pool is small and there is no steam room/sauna. Changing rooms were being renovated and not ideal. The quality of cocktails in the bar was awful in comparison to the high cost. Didn't get offered dessert after dinner in the bar but the staff were nice. The walk around the grounds could really do with signage.
