My recent stay at the resort was quite enjoyable with friendly and attentive staff. The rooms were spacious and clean, providing a peaceful retreat. However, some aspects of the service and facilities left room for improvement. The dining options were varied and satisfying, but the experience was hindered by a few service oversights. Overall, it was a good value for money and a place I'd consider revisiting.

My experience at the resort was quite enjoyable overall. The ambiance was serene and the hospitality from the staff truly made our stay memorable. I appreciated the beautiful views of the lake and the peaceful surroundings. However, I did find that the Wi-Fi was not very reliable and was an additional cost, which was a bit disappointing. Additionally, while the overall cleanliness was commendable, more focus on dining variety would enhance the experience.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. While the lakeside location was appealing, the resort itself felt more like just a room than a true vacation spot. The room was clean and spacious, but there were issues with service and amenities that detracted from my overall experience. We faced a noticeable disconnect in communication regarding our meeting room, and the dining options varied from decent to below expectations. On the bright side, the staff was genuinely friendly when they were available, and some areas of the hotel showed promise with renovations.

I had a pleasant stay at the resort, enjoying its serene environment and beautiful gardens. The rooms, while clean and equipped with basic amenities, felt a bit small for my taste. The dining options were quite good, especially the breakfast spread, but I did find some aspects of the service a bit slow. Overall, it’s a great place for families with kids, but be prepared for crowded tourist spots nearby.

I had a lovely stay at this resort, where the ambiance was delightful and the gardens were beautifully maintained. The rooms were neat and tidy, and I appreciated the helpfulness of the staff. However, the dining options could use improvement, especially in the variety of non-veg items. Also, providing Wi-Fi in each suite instead of just the lobby would be a great addition for convenience.
