informative conversations extraordinary culinary experience clean rooms
the staff seemed genuinely happy! going to breakfast meant being greeted with smiles, and conversations about excursions were informative. at dinner, the team, stopping to chat. the food was excellent! the drinks matched so well, it was an extraordinary culinary experience. the rooms felt homey because they were big, the decor was lovely, and they were kept so clean.
the shower controls were very stiff, i could only pick very hot water at a good flow or a low water flow at a reasonable temperature.
