Pros:

Staff behavior

Cons:

Limitations on menu. They offer limited varieties menu for the entire stay. Lunch and supper is almost if not the same, with one if staying for more than a week, would have to opt for outside restaurants even tough one might not want to go out.

Great value for money, beautiful views - few hiccups on amenities - but other wise good!
Pros:

The venue and view is beautiful - rooms are clean and spacious. Staff friendly

Cons:

I only had 1 x Decaf coffee stick in my room - no 2 point plugs to plug in a charger or plugs near a mirror to do your hair. The TV is definitely not user friendly
