poor signaldry chicken
The room was fine, but the tv signal kept cutting out. I had to turn it off and on multiple times. It got pretty ANNOYING. the lunch was a letdown. I ordered a chicken salad sandwich. It was dry chicken and a single lettuce leaf on white bread. I expected better.

a wedding weekend to remember

amazing ceremonyperfect decorhelpful staffmissing cushions
i attended a wedding (with 240 people!) at the hotel, and it was really good. the ceremony and party were amazing, with perfect decor. the hotel is beautiful, the rooms clean, and the cleaning staff so helpful.
i think cushions for the loungers at the pool could improve the experience.
