We recently stayed at this hotel and were genuinely impressed with the quality of the facilities and the relaxing atmosphere — at least for the first two days. The room was clean, the staff were friendly, and we initially felt we had made a great choice.
However, once the weekend arrived, the experience changed dramatically. The hotel seemed to become overbooked, and the previously calm environment gave way to a very crowded scene, particularly at the bar and pool areas. It quickly became apparent that a significant portion of the crowd were locals using the facilities, which gave the place more of a day-resort feel than the relaxing getaway we expected.
To top it off, on Sunday there was a large children’s birthday party on the property, with over 60 kids running around the complex. While we understand events like this can be fun for some, it wasn’t what we had in mind for a peaceful weekend, especially given the price point of the stay.
Overall, the hotel itself is lovely, and we did enjoy the beginning of our stay. That said, it would have been helpful to know in advance that the hotel hosts events and allows public access to facilities on weekends. Had we known, we likely would have chosen a quieter alternative more suited to our expectations.
