Family vacay

Loved everything about this place. The grounds were amazing, hotel itself was beautiful and our daughter enjoyed her spa time. We ate at the bar and grille and food was very good, the buffet breakfast in the other restaurant was great and late night cocktails at the lobby bar was lots of fun, the staff were all amazing and so friendly especially Sean, the concierge or manager I’m not sure. Would stay again for sure.

Avoid if you like sleep and interesting staff

Dreadful night sleep. Bedroom having audible mechanical noise preventing any kind of rest . Staff the following morning couldn’t be less interested . With a promise for investigation and follow up call that never materialised . Better service and facilities expected considering the high room rate they charge . Avoid!
