While my stay at the hotel was filled with delightful moments and fantastic staff, it was marred by some notable inconveniences. The room upgrades were lovely, but my partner's birthday surprise was a bit rocky due to missing chocolate strawberries and luggage transfer delays. Overall, an experience that had the potential to be unforgettable but fell short in specifics.

I had a mix of experiences during my stay, as the hotel had a beautiful atmosphere and the staff was genuinely nice and accommodating. However, there were some notable issues with my room reservation, which left a sour taste regarding the overall experience. The on-site dining was exceptional, adding a memorable touch to my visit.
