This hotel offers a fantastic experience for families with its engaging amenities and welcoming atmosphere. The dining options are delicious, and the evening entertainment is a highlight of the stay.

I recently enjoyed a two-night spa break and had an incredible time overall. The stunning views from the hotel and spa were unmatched, and I loved the attention to detail at the dining room. However, I encountered a couple of maintenance issues in my room that the staff didn't quite resolve as effectively as I hoped. The spa was an exceptional highlight! Overall, I felt rejuvenated and would recommend it, though with a few caveats regarding room conditions.
