From the moment we arrived the service was incredible, we received a view upgrade to our room and were extremely impressed by how spacious and beautiful the room itself was. We stayed in the Jewel Spa Suite and would absolutely stay again. The valet service was fast and their communication was excellent, the pool is lovely and there is ample seating around the pool area.

We had a wonderful stay. Even before we arrived staff were helpful and ensuring our stay would be comfortable. (Particularly Joshua). On arrival & throughout our stay staff were always available, friendly & helpful. The concierge team are fantastic. I travelled with my 2 children and staff were welcoming to us all. Thankyou The Darling you provided us with a fantastic holiday environment.
