My stay at this equestrian resort was truly memorable. The luxurious room offered stunning views of the Grand Arena, and I enjoyed the spaciousness and elegant decor immensely. The dining options were high-quality, with delicious meals that made each dining experience special. The grounds were beautifully landscaped and perfect for relaxation, although it would have been great to have more engaging activities for families. Overall, it was an incredible getaway, but I felt that the organization of some events could be improved for a smoother experience.

This hotel offers a luxurious experience with stunning decor and top-notch amenities. The spacious rooms provide breathtaking views of the equestrian events happening right outside. I loved the engaging activities for families and the wonderful dining options. However, the dining could have more variety, especially for breakfast, and the pool area would benefit from some additional seating to accommodate more guests.
