The room was super clean and modern! The staff members were helpful and friendly . The setting of the hotel is divine, offering beautiful views and tranquility. I could have stayed forever.

The spacious suite provided a peaceful retreat. I had an amazing view from the room. The food in the restaurant was lovely (I particularly enjoyed the breakfast options!). The staff members were cute and happy to help with any requests.
I noticed some noise from adjacent rooms due to soundproofing that seemed inadequate, especially the sound of jacuzzi baths late at night.
