amazing views tasty food clean rooms helpful staff
The hotel has amazing views. The food and drinks tasted very good. Rooms are large and clean. The staff was very kind and helped us find another room (more in line with what we were expecting).
The bars seemed a bit understaffed so I had to wait regularly for drinks.
