Upon arrival I was a little worried that due to the size and quantity of rooms, we would be forgotten about and not receive the 5 Star hotel experience but we were wrong! There is an army of dutiful staff members always available and there to help, our room was a superb garden terrace next to the Mexican restaurant where we had early morning coffees. Cannot wait to revisit!
