I recently had an incredible stay at the hotel, where we were treated like royalty during our short visit. The elegance and beauty of the place left a lasting impression, and while the luxury suite provided a fabulous experience, the dining could use some improvement. Despite a couple of minor hiccups, I left feeling eager to return for a longer stay.
