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 breakfast buffet is a clear highlight, offering a wide range of delicious options. Unfortunately, my experience with the service was marred by a lack of attention to certain guests, and there were definitely areas that could use improvement, particularly in terms of room conditions and the responsiveness of the staff at times.

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. However, dining options for lunch and dinner were a letdown, with repetitive and tasteless food. The service could use improvement, particularly at the bar and during busy dining hours, which detracts from the overall experience.

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.
