a totally charming escape!!!

sunny weekendwarm receptionperfect backdropgrand grounds
The sunny weekend made everything so lovely!!! emily at reception was an absolute gem. She was warm, cute, and genuinely cared. our double room balcony was beautiful and provided the most perfect backdrop for watching the sunset from our balcony. i loved that the hotel grounds had beautiful courts. It felt so grand and luxurious.
The coffee at breakfast wasn't amazing. I'm a bit of a coffee snob and it just didn't quite hit the mark.

Acceptable Stay with Notable Issues

comprehensive selectionnon-functional jacuzzidirty floor
The breakfast buffet offered a comprehensive selection of food items.
The jacuzzi wasn't working, a big letdown. The swimming pool was overcrowded with children, so relaxing was difficult. I also noticed the changing room floor was dirty and wet, really needing a clean and regular mopping.
