I had a lovely time overall, with great staff, generous and tasty food, and beautiful gardens. However, the experience was marred by the lack of Wi-Fi and poor phone signal in my room, which made staying connected challenging. The rooms were just average, which was a bit disappointing given the resort's charm.

I had a pleasant stay at this resort with beautiful gardens and tasty food. The staff were genuinely great and made the experience more enjoyable. However, I was really disappointed with the Wi-Fi and lack of phone signal, which made it tough to stay connected. While the rooms were adequate, they could use some improvement, especially the TV placement, which wasn’t very comfortable for watching.

I had a lovely stay at this resort, where the staff really made me feel welcome, and the food was both generous and delicious. The gardens and surroundings were beautifully maintained, creating a pleasant atmosphere. Unfortunately, the experience was marred by poor Wi-Fi and a lack of phone signal for my carrier, which affected my overall enjoyment. Additionally, the room's TV mounting made it uncomfortable to watch from the bed.

I had a lovely stay, with wonderful staff and delicious food that was quite generous. The ambiance of the gardens and surrounding area made the experience enjoyable, but I was really disappointed by the poor Wi-Fi and lack of phone signal, which was a significant drawback for me. The rooms were just alright—adequate but nothing special, and the TV placement made it uncomfortable to watch. Overall, it’s a nice place, but the connection issues really undermine its potential.
