The hotel offers a beautiful and cozy atmosphere with lovely views, perfect for a romantic getaway. However, my recent experience revealed significant issues with service and maintenance that detracted from the overall enjoyment of our stay. While the food at the restaurant was fabulous, some amenities fell short, especially given the price point.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The views from my room were undeniably stunning and the spa facilities were fantastic, making it an overall relaxing trip. However, the service during check-in was less than ideal as I had to carry my bags a long way, and some amenities didn't meet the expected standards for a luxury hotel. Overall, while I enjoyed my stay, there are aspects that could be improved.
