Pros:

Excellent service from Nicholas on the front desk from the minute we arrived. Amazing communication from him, he took us to our room personally and explained all the services of the hotel. The hotel was beautifully presented, gardens immaculate and rooms clean. Excellent central location, great parking available. Could not fault.
