Try The Afternoon Tea
If you want a real treat, try the hotel's afternoon tea. You will find above average goodies like salmon, turkey, egg, and cucumber sandwiches. Sweets include niceties like pistachio muffin, fruit tart, and some of the most amazing scones that will melt in your mouth.

What A Staff!
The staff must have gone to a special school for etiquette and professionalism because you won't catch them on a bad day. They are super friendly and helpful, which is just what you would expect from this type of hotel.

They Really Got It Together!
From amenities to service, this hotel is not playing games. For example, the adult pool and the kid's pool area have their perfect place and it works. The golf course is great and it's not just for amateurs either, you will have a challenge. The greens are perfectly manicured. The rooms are opulent, spacious, and suited for royalty. Just walking the lovely grounds and clearing your mind is worth the experience to stay at this grand hotel.

Boring Luxury Just Chill Out
There's no question that the hotel is elegant, spiffy, and all that good stuff. However, it can be quite boring as well. There's nothing exciting going on and it's well organized, but maybe that's the problem! Overall, it's a place to take it easy and chill out.
negative:
Nothing Big But Would Be Nice
Though the hotel is top-notch it would be nice to have little extras available like a laundry bag for wet clothing and in summer more bottled water would be great.
negative:
Where's The Beach?
The hotel is not really where the actions is. If you love the beach, it's a bit far from the hotel.
