Although this is a very beautiful property, their focus during our time was on an upcoming wedding. Bar was closed and minimal dining options. We felt like an "after thought"and probably were. Our breakfast was very average.
Our room was nice but overall unless you are attending a wedding there, I would pass on this property.
