The breakfasts were a highlight with a great variety and high quality, although the evening meals had limited options. Overall, I enjoyed the peaceful environment but believe it could benefit from some upgrades.

The breakfast buffet offered many quality choices and the included meals added great value to my stay. However, I noticed limited options for dietary preferences during dinner, which could be improved, especially since I encountered some food waste due to the restaurant's quick service removing plates.
