The location provides a fantastic view overlooking the golf course, a definite plus.
The hotel seemed understaffed. Service in the restaurant was slow. It took 45 minutes to get drinks and another 30 minutes for starters (i was really thirsty!). The staff could be more attentive and definitely smile more.
