the staff was really friendly and helpful. rooms were very comfortable, and i liked the spa products offered. i also appreciated that the hotel was on the bus pick up route for airport shuttle and excursions. (this made things super convenient!)
the glass door to the bathroom was a design flaw for me. all sounds from the bathroom were audible, and light filled the bedroom. this affected sleep quality a bit.
