My stay at the hotel was overall enjoyable, with a beautiful, spacious spa area offering a serene atmosphere. The rooms were modern and very clean, making it easy to unwind after a day of exploration. However, the service experience was a bit mixed; while some staff were accommodating, others didn’t meet expectations. Additionally, the dining options were somewhat limited, which was a letdown considering the excellent facilities available.
