The Park Lodge Hotel
La Joya Lodge Conference Centre and Spa
I had a wonderful experience at the hotel. The staff were consistently friendly and helpful, and the food was absolutely delicious. The only challenge I encountered was the speed humps from the gate to the reception. Since I was driving a very low car, it kept scraping on the humps.
