I booked ocean view suite but got city view so was a bit disappointed. And i was there while they hosted a number of VIPs so there was a lot of police, military and so on. And guests were being cautioned on not wearing very revealing clothes. I guess it wasnt the establishment's choice but yeah it was quite frustrating. The staff were amazing. Food, not so much

Hyari and the fitness managers were great. The food was excellent as well as all of the food management staff. The pool and scenery was excellent. Only problem was that there was a glitch in expedia booking causing me to double book. Even though the hotel was informed in advance and contacted my Expedia to change this they refused to refund. That is dirty and the truly don't need the money that bad to do something like that.

Restaurant staff are poor for a five star property. No greeting upon arrival. Don’t show where one can sit. Acute shortage of waiters…. I had to inform staff that certain items ran out. Overall service was very poor 5/10. Great improvements needed. Didn’t see any restaurant manager or supervisor
