slow drain stuffy air conditioning
I found some aspects frustrating. the shower drain was slow. It seemed blocked with hair and dirt. also, the air conditioning in the room had a stuffy smell , made the space unpleasant. these issues detracted from the overall experience despite the hotel's beautiful location.

large gardens helpful staff design concept slow service inculcated cleaning off putting offer
The hotel has large gardens that are beautifully lit at night. I was greeted by a pleasant and helpful member of staff at the reception desk. I took a wonderful tour around the hotel with the front of the house manager, learning about the design concept.
The service in the restaurant needed improvement as it was very slow. I found that the cleaning was inculcated.
