“This property stands out with its golf course and spa, although some aspects require attention; reports indicate the restaurant's menu and execution miss the mark for a 4-star experience. Guest rooms also need updating, particularly regarding modern amenities. The welcome is warm, and the service is attentive, so there are good foundations.”
