my family booked this as a birthday treat. i got two rounds of golf and one night at the hotel. the hotel was grand, the grounds were beautiful, and the accommodations were awesome. we even extended our stay by one night after the second round of golf. check-in was smooth, and the receptionist was helpful. our room was ready early.
i booked a beautiful double or twin room. the room had no ac. the water in the room was warm. they did provide a small fan. breakfast had a lot of choice. however, one waitress shrugged when asked for cutlery.

My family treated me to a birthday surprise, two golf rounds and a night in this hotel. the grounds, the hotel, and the various accommodations looked grand. We extended our stay by another night. check-in was easy. The receptionist helped a lot and our room was ready early, which let us settle before golf. the golf course has amazing views!!!
i noticed the gym was crowded during peak hours, needing some patience to use preferred equipment.
