i was greeted with a lovely birthday cake platter which i really enjoyed. the reception staff was very kind. the hotel decor was beautiful (i especially liked the lobby).
the shower was quite complicated to use. also, i found it disappointing that the pool only opens at 7 am. i think it should be open during daylight hours in the summer.
