I had a lovely time at the hotel; it was very serene and had modern decor that really stood out. The spa services were fantastic, offering a nice escape from everyday stress. However, a couple of amenities, like the shuttle service, could use a bit of improvement as it wasn't always available, which was frustrating at times. Overall, the value for money was decent due to the luxurious experience, but the dining options could have been better.

My stay at the hotel was quite relaxing, with a lovely ambiance thanks to the fireplace in the rooms, which made curling up with a glass of wine after a long day irresistible. However, there was a noticeable lack of personal touches, which took away from the overall experience. The service was exceptional, and I felt well taken care of during my visit. Still, some dining options were hit or miss, which was a bit disappointing.
