The room was lovely and the bed was very comfortable. Loved the outdoor hot tub. My only complaint is the staff. They were polite enough, but there’s just no warmth or genuine-ness. It all feels forced. It’s like you can feel they’re nice to your face and smirk behind your back. As an ex staff member I can only hope that they are treated the same in the future.
