Pros:

The rooms and hotel decoration in general

Cons:

The breakfast was delicious. However, the stuff working there was not up to standard. We have scheduled a floating breakfast at 10 AM, they did not realize until i asked about it. The breakfast arrived at 11 AM which is so disrespectful of my time and engagement.
