I had a decent stay at the hotel, which is located on a beautiful golf course and offers lovely views. The rooms were equipped with nice furnishings and were quite comfortable, especially the beds. However, the service left something to be desired, as the younger staff lacked adequate training, leading to some frustrations. Overall, it's a good spot for a family getaway but could improve in terms of staff management and service consistency.

I recently stayed at a hotel located on a beautiful golf course, which offered stunning views. The room was spacious with a very comfortable bed, making for a cozy getaway.
