well trained staffexcellent foodcoke stainsair conditioning
the resort staff impressed me greatly! i felt cared for, from arrival to departure. the restaurant staff were really knowledgeable about both the wine list and menu! i noticed the innovative menu and the excellent food.
I asked to move rooms since we were placed next to a service entrance. Instead, they moved us to the rear! this new location faced industrial air conditioning units. i noticed coke stains on the bathroom door that needed cleaning.
