Smell was fixed it but we had to call back and someone else got it fixed the first girl didn’t really seem to care. It was stressful for me since I am pregnant and was tired from long travel. Better to check your rooms before checking in your guests. Overall the property is lovely but the inconvenience didn’t make it pleasant.

The hotel has a lovely environment with beautiful gardens and a relaxing holiday atmosphere. Unfortunately, our experience with housekeeping was disappointing. Our room was not cleaned on the second night, and after we informed the hotel, the manager apologized, assured us our room would be prioritized for cleaning, and kindly gave us a $100 credit. However, that evening we found the bed was not properly made—one bedsheet was missing, and we had to wait 15 minutes for staff to bring one. Since it was already late, we didn’t wait for them to change the duvet, which also had a black spot. While we really appreciated the surroundings and atmosphere, the housekeeping issues left us disappointed, and we may consider other options in the future.

I came to the hotel about 2:30, and I knew that the check in time is 4PM. The staff sounded like I can get a room earlier than the check in time, so I stayed at the lawn area, which was nice. When I checked the status of the room a few times since then, they kept telling me it's gonna be ready soon, but I did not get the keys until after 4 PM. Had they told me the real situation, I would have gone out for some sightseeing. I just wasted my time.

Love this hotel from previous visits. So, went for one night to enjoy some time by the pool. The pool was overly crowded with guests saving loungers ahead of time for family not at the pool. As a result, we were not able to enjoy anytime by the pool after waiting 3 hours for 2 lounge chairs to become available. Really disappointing. Other hotels have figured out how to manage this “saving” loungers challenge. Not sure why they haven’t.
