"We booked the sphinx suite with outdoor jet-tub and arrived to find a much smaller room than advertised and a standalone jacuzzi rather than the larger integrated jet tub advertised. The receptionist tried to tell us this was the room we booked, however this room is not even advertised anywhere. We had to really push back and were made to feel like it was our mistake or issue. Eventually the reservations team called and said they would move us the following day into the room we had in fact...
"Only issue was the steep driveway which some members felt unsafe on using. It would be ideal to make it safer to walk up and down, then 10/10 rating. Nice place and safe to stay in otherwise."
"We stayed for three nights. The room itself was acceptable, but the bathroom had not been renovated at all. The pictures posted online do not accurately represent the property. We couldn't open our window or door, as it opened to an abandoned room. I wouldn’t recommend booking this property; there are many wonderful alternatives in the same area."
