basic breakfastroom temperature
I was quite disappointed with a couple of things. The lack of air conditioning in the room was noticeable. I needed to ask for a fan to make it bearable. The breakfast buffet seemed pretty basic. I've seen better selections at similar hotels and I expected more variety given the price. I think they should really update the breakfast to match the rest of the hotel quality.

Fantastic Stay with Golf and Spa Delights

The golf course was definitely a highlight. The staff member at the course was helpful and went the extra mile to ensure our experience was special. The spa also stood out with its diverse range of saunas available. I found myself enjoying the walking trails around the hotel, the views were expansive.
I noticed some minor wear in the hallways, it could benefit from some fresh paint.
