I had a delightful stay at the hotel. The rooms were beautifully decorated for the occasion, very spacious with tea/coffee making facilities and a separate coffee maker, with a huge bathroom featuring a tub and separate shower. The decor was gorgeous and had been updated since my last visit, which did not disappoint. The service was beyond friendly and helpful, with the staff being very nice and walking us through all the available packages. The location, although reserved for those having spa treatments, was fabulous with lots of outdoor areas to enjoy, and the dining room overlooking well-maintained gardens. The dining experience was wonderful, and the facilities were top-notch.
