“The resort's beachfront location and proximity to attractions like the Royal Westmoreland Golf Course make it a tempting choice. The celebrated executive chef and custom dining options are noteworthy, though some past guests have reported inconsistent food quality and dated rooms. I noticed that staff attentiveness and personalized service are often highlighted as strengths.”
