beautiful flowersunhelpful staffpoor cleaning

The scenery met my expectations as I loved all the flowers around the resort.

The front office staff seemed unhelpful. I also noted many trainees unable to understand English. This made repeating myself a bit frustrating. The housekeeping did not clean the room properly.
