The hotel has a charming historical character and offers spacious rooms with a good layout, though they appear overdue for some updates. The staff is generally pleasant, but I encountered some issues with service, especially in the dining areas. The location is peaceful, providing a nice escape, but the dining options could benefit from more variety. Overall, it's decent for a family getaway, but improvements in service and dining would enhance the experience.

I had a pleasant stay at the resort with its spacious and inviting areas, but the room felt a bit small. The buffet breakfast had a lot to offer, although there were some high-sugar options for kids that could be improved. The golf course and surrounding views were a highlight, but the terrain could do with better maintenance. Overall, it's a lovely place, but there are areas that could benefit from updates.

The Penina Hotel & Golf Resort has some fantastic attributes, especially for golf enthusiasts. The golf facilities are excellent and the staff's friendliness is commendable, making for a warm environment. However, the dining experience, especially at the Le Grill restaurant, did not meet expectations, and the state of the hotel itself showed signs of aging. Overall, while it has great potential, improvements are needed in service and dining quality.
