The pool area offers comfortable loungers. i received a complimentary cocktail upon arrival, a nice touch. i had a free bottle of champagne because it was my honeymoon. the receptionist booked a table at a beautiful restaurant. I will return without hesitation.

The location was convenient. The parking guidance provided was detailed and helpful. A welcome drink was offered upon arrival. That was a nice touch. The patio garden was a pleasant space for relaxation.

The pool was small and not proportionate to the number of guests.
