I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On one hand, the spa amenities and treatments were fantastic, providing a relaxing atmosphere that I really enjoyed. The dining experience, especially the afternoon tea, was delightful but slightly inconvenient as it required leaving the spa area. However, the room I stayed in left much to be desired, and the initial customer service encounter regarding my booking issues was quite disappointing.

I had high hopes for this spa hotel, but there were clearly some areas that need improvement. While the spa treatments were delightful and on par with my expectations, the room and dining experiences were not as stellar. The staff did their best to be accommodating, but the general atmosphere and upkeep left something to be desired. Overall, it felt overpriced for what was delivered.
