The room was well kept, also provided nice views.

The check-in was a complete disaster. The officer was unhelpful and ignored all my requests. Our arrangements for a birthday celebration were completely ignored, though I confirmed them with the reservation team a month in advance.

Lovely Luxury Getaway!

welcome mocktail seamless service awesome design luxurious apartment

I adored the welcome mocktail at check-in. The resort's organization was excellent, with seamless service everywhere. The interior design was awesome, and the exterior was even better! I was generously upgraded to a suite. It reminded me of a luxurious apartment!

The pool area got a bit crowded with day visitors. It was especially noticeable on the weekend. There were more small children around. The hotel seemed focused on quantity over quality.
