9.4/10 Exceptional! (40 reviews)
We had an amazing 2 day stay. Place was gorgeous, with 5 star rooms and service.
Food was also great with more options than you could think of. If you’re looking for extra activities, there is a spa and a list of water activities to do at the beach or on the river.
Definitely recommend

Don't waste your money on the best room
"We booked the most expensive room which cost a fortune. When we arrived the room was occupied as they had sold it twice. They put us in the cheapest room with noisy air conditioning and no lock on the patio door. Blaned Hotels.com and offered no compensation or even a courtesy something."
