I felt safe. This was a big plus as two women traveling alone. The Peacock restaurant is amazing. The Indian food was delicious! The staff was among the best I have encountered. They were helpful. The rooms were spacious with super comfy beds. I found the gym great and Elphaz made workout sessions interesting.

Sadly, some things went missing from my room. I hope they can improve on this!
