“There's a genuine sense of occasion here, particularly at dinner where the Fireplace restaurant shines, marked by exceptional service from staff like Gretel and Cedric who truly elevate the experience. The grounds feel expansive, with the lagoon pool as a serene focal point, though I did notice a common poolside tactic of early towel reservations. It strikes me as a place where thoughtful attention to detail, from comfortable rooms to the proactive staff, leaves a lasting impression.”
