“Amid tranquil, picturesque grounds, the hotel presents a premium golf experience alongside family-friendly facilities, including a private beach club. Though spacious rooms could use some updating, the historical charm and lush coastal setting appeal. I would recommend the golf course and clubhouse, but suggest skipping the spa.”
