7.8/10 Good! (2,151 reviews)

The breakfast was continental daily, so for a week stay and a person who doesn't eat pork, ham or bacon , My breafast choice was limited to 1 or 2 things daily. There wasn't a consistency in meal taste at the buffet. The weekend chef were good. A la carte. Tex- Mex and Mediterranean was good. Bed was comfy room was cleaned daily but the black out blind was molded and stained. Can't say it wasnt washed as it smell okay but it needs to be replaced. Some areas of the buffet needs cleaning. The omellette grill area in the buffet and Wall behind it., Vents etc but otherwise most things were clean to the naked eye. I would recommend single packaging than scooped jars for the tea area as i witnessed a lick amd dip from a child. It is a family resort and kids are not always monitored so the hotel need to keep in mind they are not that keen on hygienic practices. 24 hours food though meals are repetitive and not big in variety

8.8/10 Excellent! (234 reviews)

A unique, attractive, boutique-like facility with lots of attention paid to detail appearance. Very nice, stylish rooms. Excellent very helpful staff (limited English speaking). Somewhat “strange” partnership with neighboring facility where connecting ponds water features are located (a fair walk, especially the return uphill). Fairly isolated and difficult to get to with very limited activities.
