The staff at this hotel were incredibly friendly and helpful. Every morning, they would clean the room if any issues arose and try to resolve them as soon as possible. If you’re dining at a restaurant, you should be notified of the RSVP requirement before your arrival. Additionally, they should offer a golf cart or walking tour of the hotel, as well as information about hotel activities and events.
