What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Relaxing Retreat

The hotel features a lovely spa area where I could unwind after a long day. Although I couldn't get the chance to use the spa services due to my luggage being delayed, the atmosphere around the outdoor pool was inviting, even if it was a bit brisk outside. I can only imagine how relaxing it would be to enjoy a spa day in warmer weather.

Delicious Meals

I had multiple meals at the hotel restaurant, and each one surpassed my expectations. The variety of dishes was impressive, and every bite was enjoyable. The service was really good, which made dining here a good experience.

Spacious Comfort

I was fortunate to upgrade to a one-bedroom suite, which was incredibly spacious and well-appointed. The separate living room had a swiveling television that I could watch from either the couch or bed, adding a nice touch of luxury to my stay. The overall room features made me feel right at home.

Convenient Parking

I appreciated the option of both valet and self-parking at the hotel. It made coming and going easy, plus I felt secure knowing that the entire area is monitored and has restricted access. This convenience added to the overall comfort of my stay.

I had an average stay overall. The hotel is well-located near beautiful scenery, but the amenities and service really left a lot to be desired. While I enjoyed the spacious rooms and comfortable accommodations, the dining options and staff engagement were disappointing. If you’re not there for the golf, you might find the experience lacking in warmth and character.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The golf course was absolutely fantastic and a highlight of my stay. However, I found some of the amenities lacking, like the bathroom fittings and the limited water supply in the room. Additionally, my booking experience left much to be desired due to unexpected pricing issues. On the positive side, the chef deserves commendation for the delicious meals served.

This hotel is a beautiful retreat, set against a stunning backdrop of greenery and golf course. The atmosphere is relaxing and family-friendly, with fantastic amenities like a spacious pool area and a well-equipped spa. While the dining experience could use improvement in terms of service speed, the halal food options were a big plus for me as a Muslim traveler. Overall, it's an excellent choice, although the distance from the airport might be a bit of a hassle for some.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, appreciated the spacious rooms with stunning views, and enjoyed the relaxing pool area. The overall ambiance was perfect for unwinding, but there were a few details that need attention, particularly with the room amenities and the service. The dining options were quite impressive! Overall, good value for a restful getaway.

Rooms

The rooms are huge and offer beautiful views of the pool or lagoon. However, there were a few issues like lamp switches not working, a leaking shower head, and a bathroom door handle that was missing, detracting from the experience a bit.

While some staff were helpful, I felt that occasionally the service could be more attentive. On one occasion, we were skipped over for seating in favor of another group, which wasn't ideal.
