Spectacular golf course.
The greenkeepers cannot do more for you. The golf courses are in their best condition in the past couple of years. It’s great that the management decided to make major renovations. The lessons are indeed perfect for beginners and advanced players alike.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Restaurant can be busy.
The restaurant can be crowded especially during peak seasons. Due to this, the service during lunch and dinner becomes slow. However, waiting for the food is totally worth it since it’s cooked to perfection Moreover, this actually means that the staff pays attention to detail and does not sacrifice the quality of the food for faster service.
negative:
Minor issues with lighting.
The rooms have great interior features. However, some lights are dimmer compared to the others. If you encounter these lights and get bothered by it, contact the staff. Someone will be sent to fix it as soon as possible.
negative:
Few toiletries.
The soap, shampoo, and conditioner are of good quality but they are not replenished regularly. A small bar of soap cannot be sufficient for a three-day trip. Thus, you are advised to intentionally ask the staff for extras before the supply runs out.
