I had an amazing experience at the hotel, largely due to the exceptional service from the staff who were always eager to assist with my needs. The cleanliness and upkeep of the entire facility were impressive, making me feel at ease during my stay. The dining, especially breakfast, was delicious, although I wish there were a few more options. The rooftop views were spectacular, adding a memorable touch to my meals. On the downside, while parking was adequate, it could get a bit crowded at times, making it a slight inconvenience.

I had a truly relaxing experience at this spa hotel, where the tranquil ambiance and adults-only policy made for a soothing getaway. The spacious rooms were tastefully designed, and the top-notch spa treatments felt like a dream. While the dining options were generally high-quality, I felt that there could be more variety, especially during breakfast. The views from the rooftop were stunning, which really added to the overall experience. However, it was slightly disappointing that the parking spaces were limited, which might present a challenge during busy times.
