This Property exceeded our expectations. We stayed for nights. The inside of our room was absolutely gorgeous and modern, totally impressed us all. Staff at reception went out of there way to to inform us about local attractions. The only suggestion i have is that as we were a family of 5 and stayed for nights, we only had 1 roll of toilet paper and needed some more garbage bags for the bin, as there was only one. I also felt weird that i couldn't vacuum crumbs off carpet from the mess kids make, as the carpet is beautiful. Probably because we stayed 4 nights just a couple of extra we needed those extra things. Otherwise the place is beautifully stocked with amenities in the kitchen, just amazing with 5 star cleanliness.
