Mixed Experience at the Hotel

The location was acceptable.

The room was not great. It felt outdated (I expected more for the price). The bathroom was particularly disappointing. The breakfast buffet lacked variety. It seemed very basic.

walking trailsrestaurant dinnersdated hotelround plugs

i spent a few nights here and really liked the walking trails (i think i walked them all!). the restaurant dinners were excellent. the live music in the evening was a nice touch too (i enjoyed it).

i found the hotel a bit dated. the shower in my room did not flow straight (that was annoying). i also noticed few plugs near the bed, and some were old round three pin plugs (not convenient!).

This place rocks! we went sea swimming right at the foot of the hotel ,then we jumped into the outdoor plunge pool. the outdoor infinity pool was absolute bliss! dining in the dolittle bar was very nice. The food, wine, and music were exquisite. the walking trails were so fun, we did the longest route and loved it.

the beds were a bit firm ,but honestly, it was a minor thing.

Decent Stay with Some Issues

scenic groundspoor breakfast servicedated bathroom

The grounds were quite scenic, offering pleasant walks.

The service at breakfast was poor. The staff seemed overwhelmed, leading to long waits and several errors with my order. I also found the room to be quite dated (particularly the bathroom tiles) and not as clean as I would expect for the price.
