We stayed here for 5 nights after getting a refund for a different hotel that completely didn't meet expectations. The QDL Country Club however was fantastic. Beautiful rooms with a stunning view! We stayed in the T2 penthouse. Couldn't fault anything. We did ask if there was any availability for the summer but they already (not surprisingly) have a waiting list. Heated indoor pool was great. Staff all v.helpful and it's a fantastic location. We'd love to come here again!
