The rooms each have a modern bathroom with free designer toiletries and a hairdryer. Rooms also feature a flat-screen satellite TV and tea/coffee making facilities.

We were welcomed warmly with smiles and gracious questions about our journey. Our room was everything I was hoping for and more. It felt like home during the 5 days we stayed. It was clean and extremely spacious. The bedding was incredibly comfortable and luxurious. Our teenage son joined us and the hotel staff accommodated our needs. The restaurants were all perfect. I highly recommend booking reservations at the 18t Hole ahead of time, you will not want to miss out it’s stunning. We will definitely be back again.
