The hotel boasts impressive architecture and a beautiful setting, which immediately makes a great first impression. However, the experience diminishes due to unkempt rooms and inconsistent service, particularly in dining. The spa facilities offer a relaxing vibe, but the temperature of the pool and quality of food leave much to be desired, making it feel overpriced for what is provided.
