A legendary hotel that will remind (and smell) a bit like a nursing home. Their answer will probably be that they invest a lot, etc., and take the criticism seriously (enough said) but come on guys... we've risen to a higher level in the country and you've been running on the same design for over a decade. Since then, 5-star hotels have opened, and you're stuck in the 90s. Recommended, but the place requires a real redesign, from the ground up, including everything.
The view from the hotel is lovely and so is the garden and pool. But the rest is old and needs renovation. The food has remained the same for at least two years In short, it needs a massive refresh to continue to justify the name and price
We came to celebrate our wedding anniversary after years of wanting to come to this hotel. From the entrance in the parking lot you feel like you've arrived at a five-star hotel. Except for the receptionist who welcomed us, who was not professional or nice at all, we had a perfect weekend. The room was large and spacious, the food was varied and rich with excellent service. The massages we had didn't exactly meet the expectations of the industry there and we took them twice because we thought maybe a different therapist... Beyond that, the experience was WOW. We came for the quiet, just as we wanted, to rest, relax, and enjoy the greenery of nature.
This is a beautiful property with all the amenities! We loved it!
