harbour viewbalcony viewdelicious mealabsent assistance
The staff was helpful throughout my visit. i secured a harbour view room with a balcony. The views of both the harbour and gardens were lovely. evening meals at the contessa restaurant proved consistently delicious. I also savored afternoon tea in the palm lounge, which i endorse fully.
Upon my arrival, assistance with luggage was absent. This set an initial tone. later, i requested a specific table during breakfast, but it was denied due to setup concerns.

Decent stay, some issues

unreliable air conditioningdisorganized breakfast
The air conditioning was UNRELIABLE. It struggled to cool the room effectively (even after setting the thermostat low). This made sleeping difficult at times. the breakfast service felt disorganized on several mornings. I often waited longer than expected for coffee and had to ask multiple times for items. Staff coordination seemed to be an issue.
