spacious room relaxing balcony cool soup shorter session
I really enjoyed the spacious room. it featured a relaxing balcony ideal for unwinding in the afternoon! also, the staff was helpful. Special thanks to jp at reception.
The dinner buffet offered good ingredients though the soup station served cool soup. I found that disappointing. the pot was on a gas stove! also, the spa receptionist tried to persuade me to take a shorter session which wasn't nice
