Such wonderful and helpful Reception/Reservation staff! Well appointed, spacious and clean room The in-room spa bath was amazing. Felt very safe (as a solo female traveller in this instance) at the hotel. Many facilities at the hotel (ran out of time to try them all). Buffet breakfast was delicious and a highlight of my stay. Will definitely be staying here again.
