Went for our honeymoon. Had a fantastic time. I ordered a charcuterie board to our room. After we arrived we went to our room dropped off our bags and walked around the property with some drinks. When we came back to the room there was chocolate covered strawberries, the charcuterie board and a bottle of champagne. The champagne and strawberries were on the house. It may be a small thing, but it was very special.

8/10 Very good

The property and rooms were beautiful. The room service menu was very limited especially because all the dining options were luxury. There didn't feel like there was a casual restaurant or coffee shop on site unless I missed it. I also would have expected someone to help us with our lugguge upon arrival-a true bell hop-but the arrival was just OK. It would be great if they offered a golf cart for guests who are down in the rooms by the tennis courts. Otherwise, stunning property.
