Dine in town instead of the hotel...

While the grounds of the hotel are beautiful and the staff is very pleasant, the dining experience here is not great. For dinner, you can either pick from the buffet for a steep fee or choose from the a la cart menu. We chose the latter and feel that we stumped the chef behind the scenes. Our meals were not good and took an incredible long time to arrive at our table. Breakfast buffet, on the other hand, was as to be expected for buffet; lots of offerings and hard to screw up eggs.
