The rooms come with all the facilities required, but the lighting could be improved to brighten up the somewhat dark ambiance. The service was amazing, with the Manager going above and beyond by fulfilling our request for birthday balloons, giving outstanding customer service. However, the handling of a certain matter could have been more professional. The dining experience served fresh and seasonal products with fab views.
