I had a fantastic experience at this resort, particularly impressed by the unique historical charm transformed from a former school for the blind. The staff were genuinely welcoming and supportive, making my stay truly enjoyable. The dining at the Rock Room was exceptional, serving delicious homemade dishes that exceed expectations. However, while the resort offers a range of activities, they could enhance their family-friendly options.
