Overall, the resort had its ups and downs. The spacious villas suited our family needs well, and the pool area was refreshing and large. Unfortunately, the maintenance left a bit to be desired with cleanliness issues, and dining experiences were hit or miss. While the bar food was delightful, the carvery dinner did not meet expectations. Prices felt high for certain meals compared to the quality we received.

The resort is set on a massive piece of land with beautiful gardens surrounding the golf course. It feels quite private, but access to some areas might require transportation like golf buggies.

The bar food was delicious and I would recommend the house salad and gyozas. However, the carvery dinner was quite disappointing as it featured dry meat and undercooked vegetables, which felt overpriced.
