Could do better
Food was excellent as was location. Waiters were mixed some good some not so good. Often long wait for cutlery or drinks. The rooms were not as clean as they could be and we had cooking smells in our suite from the restaurant. No plugs by bed for my medical equipment. The rooms are look a bit old and worn.
