I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean, but my room wasn't ready upon arrival which was a bit inconvenient. The location worked for us, but it is somewhat limiting due to its isolated position. The dining options were delicious, especially for vegetarians and vegans, although the service between 12-1pm was a bit slow.
