Disappointing Spa Experience and Room Issues
spacious roombroken saunarushed service
The room was spacious enough.
The spa was a letdown. The aroma sauna was not working. My massage focused solely on my back, my neck and shoulders were completely ignored. The beautician rushed me out. She even entered while I was still dressing after the treatment. It was highly embarrassing.
