I had a lovely stay at the Wilderness Hotel, which features charming historical elements but could benefit from some updates. My room was comfortable and quiet, and I really enjoyed the impressive breakfast buffet included with my stay. The bar experience, however, was disappointing, with a sticky atmosphere and unfriendly service. Overall, while there's fantastic potential, especially with the beautiful pool and beach access, some areas need improvement.

My recent stay at the Wilderness Hotel was a mixed experience. On one hand, the hotel has beautiful renovations that blend old world charm with modern comfort. However, our time was unfortunately marred by noise from a group of rowdy guests that made it hard to relax. The staff were pleasant, but improvements in service efficiency would go a long way to enhance the experience.
Rooms

The hotel has a lot of potential with its spacious rooms and fantastic breakfast options. However, my experience was dampened by some cleanliness issues and poor noise control from other guests. While I appreciated the decent value for the price, it wasn't the relaxing getaway I had hoped for due to the noisy environment and some maintenance lapses.
Rooms

The rooms I stayed in were spacious and comfortable, with two double beds. However, I found several cleanliness issues, including stained bedding and a balcony that was not properly maintained.
