“The resort's location is undeniably appealing, and the spacious suites, though inconsistent in amenities, offer a comfortable base. However, the need for general refurbishment and more reliable service should be considered; if those elements are secondary to a quiet, nature-filled setting, this hotel is still worth a look.”
