excellent breakfast professional trainer updated equipment floor cockroaches frustrating parking loud disco

the breakfast was excellent. it had everything i could have wanted. the fitness trainer amal was really professional and helpful. he even did a quick session to get me motivated. the gym equipments are very well maintained and updated.

I encountered cockroaches on the floor in my room. this was very unpleasant. the valet parking process was frustrating. i waited about 15 minutes while they verified my free parking twice. the disco was loud. It was loud in my room until 1 at night.

very nice variety infinity pool thoughtful amenities

The breakfast buffet had very nice variety! the infinity pool was gorgeous, especially in the evenings for sunset. radish, the vip services executive, arranged thoughtful amenities for birthday celebrations. This was really good.

the lift ride to the restaurant floor felt more like a trip to a mid-tier office.

artwork design comfortable decor dramatic cocktail filtered water single use plastics toiletry products

the cloud inspired artworks throughout the hotel were beautiful i also enjoyed the cloud inspired artworks. the room decor was comfortable with clever design features. the dramatic gants cocktail with a sunset view to the ocean were very special.

i noticed the hotel had not installed filtered water. the hotel still relies on single use plastics as they provide quality mini toiletry products. the new hotel has not taken the opportunity to install filtered water.
