The hotel staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The hotel itself was stunning, both inside and out, with beautiful surroundings and elegant interiors. The spa was absolutely amazing and the highlight of our stay. I would highly recommend booking the spa in advance to avoid missing out, as it’s clearly very popular. We had a wonderful time and would 100% recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable stay.
