Bad breaking. Very uncomfortable.
Pros:

Location is great. Close to everything.

Cons:

Bed was very uncomfortable and the staffs kept telling us they would try to reserve the memory foam pillows for us, but when we got there we were advised they don’t have memory foam pillow to start with. The entire hotel does not have a single bin except the one in your room.

Good but food service ruined it
Pros:

Gorgeous property and comfortable rooms. Also a great locations

Cons:

We ordered room service on two different occasions - the first at the pool where they only brought one of our drinks; I questioned it & the lady looked at our receipt and said she’d come right back up - one hour later still no drink?? Second time (my birthday morning) I rang room service to order coffee, the lady was extremely rude and then coffee took over an hour to arrive. Once it did, she claimed they were understaffed and didn’t have time (what?)
