Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hot tubs were really nice. The shower needs a longer shower curtain as it gets all over the floor. I was disappointed in the food even though it was probably really good. I think you need some more basic food for picky eaters. Maybe some food in the bar like fish and chips or burgers.

Spectacular hotel and location. Very clean and modern. The hot tubs were excellent, common areas very nice, and breakfast/dinner were outstanding. I would highly suggest two things in the individual guest suite bathrooms to improve however: 1. A full glass enclosure (with door) for the shower. The small drop down in the floor and shower curtain (doesn’t actually reach the floor) is not enough to keep the bathroom floor from getting soaked. 2. Luxury item - a heated towel rack in the bathrooms would put things over the top. Would return for sure!
