The room was awesome, very clean. i loved the big bath tub. It felt so romantic. stepping out to see the view was the best part, especially from the first floor. the restaurant felt very cosy and intimate. I adore its staff. the reception and restaurant people were very kind.
Arriving was a little stressful. The room was not ready. it meant i had to wait with my laptop. it was not the best start to a romantic getaway. i wish things had gone more smoothly.
