poor signal dry 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 ceremony perfect decor helpful staff
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.

the breakfast buffet had plenty of choice with healthy options. the evening meal menu was very good and the food had generous portions.
