I recently stayed at Arabella Hotel and Golf Estate and had a mixed experience. While the golf course was in excellent condition and the views were breathtaking, there were several issues that impacted my stay. The room was spacious and clean, but the overall service and dining experiences left something to be desired. The atmosphere in the dining room was quite chaotic, especially during meal times with families and young children. Additionally, I faced some challenges with room service and ice availability, which detracted from my overall enjoyment.

We had a wonderful stay at the hotel, especially since we got a complimentary room upgrade at check-in. The room was spacious and well-appointed, but the breakfast lacked variety and some warm dishes were cold. The views were beautiful, and the outdoor pools were stunning. We felt welcomed and appreciated, a great place to relax. The only downside was some minor service issues and the dining options could use improvement.

I had a truly wonderful experience at this hotel, which felt like a home away from home. The staff were absolutely fantastic, making our stay comforting and enjoyable. The rooms were spacious with breathtaking views, but the air conditioning could have worked better. The dining options were exceptional, especially the various meals we enjoyed. The location is beautiful, though a bit isolated, which adds to its serene charm. Overall, it's a great choice for families looking for a luxurious getaway, but you might want to keep in mind the minor hiccups with the air conditioning and remote location.
