The staff was professional in all areas like reception, the restaurant, the bar and the spa. I found this very comforting. my room was clean, comfortable, and surprisingly spacious for a "snug" double. the food at the upper deck restaurant was delicious. I also enjoyed the convenience of accessing the spa and gym directly from my room via the lift. they offered a complimentary massage to apologise for a slight delay and this ensured i felt valued as a guest.
