I had a decent stay at the resort spa, especially considering the price I paid for the night. The rooms were spacious and included some nice amenities, but they could really benefit from a refresh. The service was accommodating, and it was a nice touch that they delivered the breakfast basket to my door. On the downside, the Wi-Fi connection was weak, which made planning my day a bit frustrating. Overall, for budget travelers who need somewhere to crash, it serves its purpose but leaves room for improvement.

The cottages were roomy, but the decor felt outdated, and one of them didn't have a fridge while the other did.

The resort is set back from the hustle and bustle, providing a quieter experience, although it's a bit far from the beach.

Our stay at this resort spa was marred by some frustrating issues, particularly the lack of customer service after hours. While the cottage we had was quaint and clean, there were several aspects that detracted from our experience, such as the broken locks and mold in the bathroom. The atmosphere was cozy, especially with the gas fireplace, but overall, it felt more like a budget stay rather than a relaxing retreat. Moreover, the service left a lot to be desired, especially for a place that positions itself as a spa resort.

The cabins are nestled in tall trees and provide a cozy atmosphere, with comfortable beds and a spacious bathroom. However, the service left a lot to be desired, particularly with the lack of basic amenities like towels and a warm spa. While the cabins are clean, they might need some upgrades and better management to enhance the overall experience.

I had a lovely time at this hotel, especially enjoying the cozy and spacious cottage where I stayed. The setting felt like a peaceful retreat, and the breakfast delivered to my door each morning was a delightful way to start the day. However, the location was a bit further from town than expected, making it necessary to drive for dining and shopping. Additionally, the cabin decor could use some updating to enhance the overall experience.

The hot spa on the grounds was a lovely bonus, offering a relaxing atmosphere amidst nature, though it wasn't the easiest to locate.
