beautiful location attentive staff missing ingredients embarrassing situation

The location was beautiful. The staff were attentive!!!

The bar was a letdown. A Bloody Mary was not available, because of missing ingredients. For a luxury venue, this was embarrassing.

small bed expensive price

The pool area had great changing facilities. I appreciated that after a dip.

I expected more from this hotel. The room included complimentary fruit but the bed felt small. The room faced wonderful views but the toilet didnt flush well. I found service was not worth the expensive price I paid.
