big suite beautiful accommodations slow service disorganised service
the suite was big, having two rooms and A bath and a half. all accommodations were large and beautiful. the staff approaches you, asking if you need help and they really mean it.
i arrived early and my mother's room was ready, which I appreciated. check in service was slow and disorganised. this wasnt what would usually be expected from a 5 STAR hotel.
