6.2/10

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.
