This hotel has a stunning view overlooking a golf course with some glimpses of the beach, and the rooms are spacious and clean. However, access to the dining options and pools could be improved, and the overall quality of food was a letdown. Additionally, the service at the bar and restaurant was quite disappointing, affecting the overall experience.

Overall, this hotel offers a solid experience, especially for golf enthusiasts, with beautiful views of the course and enjoyable facilities.

The hotel has some excellent aspects, like a clean and comfortable room with a lovely view over the golf course and a fantastic breakfast buffet that sets a positive tone for the day.

The hotel offered a lovely setting for our golf trip with friendly staff and good value. The various dinner options were enjoyable, yet there were challenges with vegetarian meals. The location near the golf course was ideal, although families might find it less convenient in off-peak periods. Overall, it's a nice choice for golfers but might not be the best fit for those with dietary restrictions or young children.
