Best part of this hotel- the pool. The menu is great and the staff at the pool is super friendly. We booked a veranda king room and didn’t like the location of the room; the girl at the front desk was very reluctant to change our room and didn’t offer any sympathy. We notified the hotel it was our anniversary prior to checking in, but did not receive any special welcome at all during our stay. Property is clean and very pretty. Great dining options. Expensive self park, it’s 45 a day. 55 for valet. Wish the front desk staff was a little nicer, but they just didn’t care.

Smell was fixed it but we had to call back and someone else got it fixed the first girl didn’t really seem to care. It was stressful for me since I am pregnant and was tired from long travel. Better to check your rooms before checking in your guests. Overall the property is lovely but the inconvenience didn’t make it pleasant.

The hotel has a lovely environment with beautiful gardens and a relaxing holiday atmosphere. Unfortunately, our experience with housekeeping was disappointing. Our room was not cleaned on the second night, and after we informed the hotel, the manager apologized, assured us our room would be prioritized for cleaning, and kindly gave us a $100 credit. However, that evening we found the bed was not properly made—one bedsheet was missing, and we had to wait 15 minutes for staff to bring one. Since it was already late, we didn’t wait for them to change the duvet, which also had a black spot. While we really appreciated the surroundings and atmosphere, the housekeeping issues left us disappointed, and we may consider other options in the future.
