Reviews and Ratings
Overall, the hotel is charming with beautiful grounds and a lovely pool area that has a fun atmosphere. The rooms are clean and inviting, but the service needs improvement, especially regarding housekeeping and shuttle coordination. While the dining options were enjoyable, the overall experience was slightly marred by inconsistent attention to guest needs.
