I stayed in a beautiful double room, and it was spotlessly clean. shampoo, shower gel, hand soap, and lotion were provided. They all smelled amazing. the team arranged airport transfers, and it was efficient. every area was well presented. I thought it was perfect.

the room i had was beside the kitchen. i could hear activity in the morning. this made it difficult to sleep in sometimes.
