rooftop poolinactive saunamissing tiles
The rooftop pool was a nice touch.
The wellness area was a letdown. One sauna was inactive, maybe broken. The steam sauna was not warm enough, so there was no point sitting in it. The jacuzzi had tiles falling off. piles of dirt in the corners.

The staff were friendly. Their English was excellent. The spa facilities offered a fabulous space to relax. I really enjoyed the quasi-separate showering and dressing area.
