7.2/10

I had a lovely experience overall at this resort. The hotel offers great amenities and a beautiful spa that really adds to the stay. However, the dining experience was a bit inconsistent, especially during dinner, which could use some improvement. The price can feel a bit steep for what you receive, but it's quite a treat if you're looking for a relaxing getaway.

I had high hopes for this spa resort based on previous visits, but this stay was quite disappointing.

I encountered issues with the restaurant's food quality and the limited availability of spa facilities. Overall, the value for money did not meet my expectations this time.

I had a fantastic overnight spa trip with a friend that included meals and spa access, which was a real treat. The spa facilities were excellent, and the food and service were top-notch. However, my previous experience at the hotel was disappointing due to a lack of care from the staff and uncomfortable room conditions, which left a sour taste. Overall, it seems like the hotel has both great perks and some significant downsides to consider.
