“This property certainly aims high with its championship golf courses and luxurious spa, set against the dramatic cliffs of St Andrews Bay; dining is another strong suit, featuring exclusive seafood and award-winning menus. However, some experiences seem to fall short of the 5-star expectation, particularly regarding service consistency and certain amenities. The potential for a truly top-tier stay is there, but it needs refinement.”
