The food tasted great. Each evening, there were varying starters, main courses, and deserts. The hotel rooms seemed very modern and clean. The staff was very friendly and always supportive. They provided great service. I received a welcome drink and found a sweet surprise in the room.

I found the sink tap loose. The fridge was loud. The AC cut on and off.
