Bishnu was so nice and cute. He really tended to our needs. He made sure we had everything we needed. The food had a large variety of international cuisine.. also local dishes. Brunch, dinner, shisha, and pool all get a thumbs up from me.
Most of the staff were very kind, except the one at the front desk. This man was rude and seemed annoyed to answer questions. I was disappointed to receive such treatment after paying a lot of money for my stay.
