The stay had its ups and downs. The hotel had some wonderful aspects such as comfortable beds and excellent dining options, particularly at Baileys restaurant. However, the lack of Wi-Fi in the rooms and other inconveniences like the staff asking guests to carry their own luggage detracted from the experience. Overall, it was a decent stay, though there are areas that could definitely be improved.

My stay at the Governor's Lodge was quite the mixed bag. The location is perfect for exploring the area and the ambiance is lovely with its tropical gardens. However, I encountered some cleanliness issues, and the service could really use a boost. While I enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, the breakfast options were also quite limited and not very appetizing at times.

The garden setting was nice, but the overall upkeep seemed a bit lacking. The pools and BBQ area were enjoyable but could use better maintenance.
