Mediocre Stay with Some Issues

noisy roomslow service
My room faced the road, OH joy. It was noisy, with traffic CONSTANTLY whizzing by. the service in the restaurant was quite slow , even though it wasn't particularly busy. I waited an unreasonable amount of time for my order to be taken and then again for the food to arrive. I wouldn't call it RELAXING.

great sizecomfortable bedmissing robeslounge access
The room was a great size. The bed was VERY comfortable. There was a great choice of food on the menus, and the staff were accommodating.
During our time in the spa, robes were NOT provided. This is normally a standard part of a spa visit. I was also not informed how to access the outdoor area, nor was i made aware that there was a lounge available.

The spa's atmosphere was very calm. It felt modern and cute. The therapist explained the treatment thoroughly beforehand. The pressure from the bamboo sticks relieved knots. This left me feeling refreshed.
