The hotel offers a beautiful setting for birdwatching with lovely gardens and a welcoming restaurant. However, its layout can be challenging, especially for older guests, as rooms are quite a trek from the dining area. The food service was hit or miss, with some delays in meal delivery. Overall, it has great potential for a relaxing stay, especially for nature lovers, but improvements are needed in service and accessibility.
