The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Exquisite Meals

During my stay, I had the pleasure of dining at the hotel's restaurant, and I must say the food was absolutely exquisite. The offerings were a treat for the taste buds, though I found some dishes to be on the pricier side. Dining with panoramic views from the balcony made the experience even more special.

Relaxing Poolside

One of my favorite parts of the stay was lounging by the expansive pool surrounded by lush gardens. The atmosphere was so tranquil, allowing for a perfect day of relaxation. I also enjoyed some time playing billiards, adding a fun twist to my leisure time.

A Book Lover's Haven

I discovered a hidden gem in the hotel's library, with floor-to-ceiling books and cozy leather chairs. It created the perfect ambiance for a quiet evening. I loved spending time reading and absorbing the peaceful atmosphere.

This hotel offers a stunning and tranquil atmosphere, perfect for a peaceful retreat. The rooms are comfortable and well-appointed, but finding the place can be quite a challenge as it is tucked away with limited signage. The dining experience was inconsistent, with decent food on one visit but disappointing on another, and the staff could be more welcoming. Overall, a beautiful property that would benefit from better navigation and dining consistency.
