My experience at the K Club was wonderful overall, with beautiful grounds and excellent room comfort. While the restaurant service could use improvement, especially during peak times, the quality of the food was outstanding. The lovely pool area added to our enjoyment, although the changing facilities fell short of expectations. Overall, the ambiance and attention to environmental impact made the stay memorable, and I would definitely return despite a few hiccups.
