location, not so luxurious

noise isolationregular quality
The view was nice, i will give them that. the noise isolation was terrible. i heard every breath from the next room. it hardly matches a 5-star experience. the food quantity was small and quality was not great. I think the prices are too high. it definitely does not worth it.

the location provides a key to a private entrance to the valley of the temples. it was fun to be able to tour the sites at my own pace and return immediately to the pool. the service was attentive and friendly, including quick responses to my questions before arrival.
The waiters did not speak english. They did not know the basics to serve wine. food at the restaurant was overpriced when compared to its quality and quantity.
