The hotel provided a spacious family room. It included two double beds. breakfast offered buffet-style options with diverse selections. the staff members were friendly and helpful . i found the atmosphere in the hotel was quite relaxing. the room had a view of the golf course.
i tried to book a spa appointment, but it was closed sunday and monday. this limited my access to that amenity, disappointing. i wish the spa services were more accessible throughout the week.
