Beautiful and classy, great rooms, every possible amenities available, excellent location, serene area, lots of green, beautiful garden. Spa is somehow not at par with the hotel. The majority of the service personal lack expertise and attention to detail, the customer service was poor all around. Lack of information regarding the VIP lounge drinks, they are charged, not free like the rest of the food, snacks, which where not fresh after peak hours. Magnificent hotel with old dirty furniture at the lobby, like I said, needs attention to continue to be as elegant and upscale as it could be.
