The hotel is obviously very beautiful. The room was spacious and the bathroom was really big. Really clean and great service from the concierge as they have a phone you can text any questions to while you are staying with them, for example we headed out one day and wanted our room made up so I just texted them and it was done. The rooftop of the hotel has a great bar and restaurant that is very busy most nights of the week. It was busy on the Monday night we went up there. The restaurant and bar are open to the public also. The food was really good and fresh, but quite expensive. The pool area is really nice and chill, with lots of sun beds and sunscreen and water for all guests. we really enjoyed our stay here.
