Gemma V. Families - 2/1/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

I stayed here with my daughter as a girls stay cation. We really enjoyed the library and the room. We did choose this resort because the website stated "heated pool, for all year round swimming" but unfortunately the pool was freezing. So that was a bit of a let down. Also no room service or restaurant open the night we stayed. Other than those two things, we loved the hotel, enjoyed our experience.

Dear Gemma, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you and your daughter enjoyed your stay, especially the room and library. We apologise for the pool being colder than expected and for the limited dining options during your visit. Your comments are appreciated and will help us improve. We hope to welcome you back for an even better experience. Best regards, Sahil Bhatia General Manager
