My stay at Arabella Hotel, Golf and Spa was quite enjoyable, but it had its share of hiccups. The stunning views and various amenities made for a pleasant getaway, though I was let down by the delayed room readiness and inconsistent service. Despite these issues, the food was good, and my family appreciated the kids' facilities.
