Pleasant rest and good food
Pros:

I loved the staff, all were very friendly and eager to help. Also, the hotel in itself is just lovely, having dinner in the Mestizo restaurant was a very nice experience, the food was delicious and the lighting was just on point for a nice romantic dinner for two.
The beds are super comfortable, the mattress is firm enough, but you kind of sink into the pillows, loved that!

Cons:

The only think I'd change is the Mestizo restaurant playlist, it was just really weird hahaha haha at least for dinner, it was just a weird mix.

Great hotel BUT Golf Course closed every Monday.
Pros:

Let me be clear this is a great hotel. BUT they failed to deliver on the reason I booked it - Golf! Despite the name including the word GOLF the golf course is closed each and every Monday for maintenance ie 14% of the week. This actually means mowing, strimming and blowing. All regular tasks that other Golf courses around the globe all manage to complete early each morning! In addition you are not allowed to enjoy the Clubhouse facilities as this is for Golf members only. Our room was very comfortable with a view of the closed golf course. The Breakfast is superb. The restaurant in the evening is only OK. The swimming pool is fabulous and the reception staff friendly.

Cons:

Don't include the word Golf in the name of a hotel if it dosnt open consistently!
