From the moment we stepped out of our cab plenty of staff were available, at our service, and already taking our bags before stepping foot into the property. Breakfast was the highlight of our stay. I regret not taking advantage of the spa. 10/10!

They were all very friendly, spoke great English, remembered our names, and our drink preferences, and were very accommodating with any and all requests.
