Waiting in line for coffee was an annoyance but still didn’t diminish the luxury feel of my stay. The largest inconvenience was the gates after 10. My first time someone was waiting there right away, but the second time I had to exit my vehicle and call from the buzzer to no answer. I only got voicemail. Eventually got in, but I was very uncomfortable in that dark area by myself, and it took long enough for someone else to pull in behind me. I appreciated the super convenient filtered water and laundry amenities that I wish were standard everywhere. I asked for a printed receipt, but their printer was down and they assured me I’d get an email, which I haven’t. Trip.com does not seem to have registered that I completed my stay, so there is something iffy among their booking and trip.com’s ledger.

The hotel is generally very good, clean and smells good, but sometimes there are some strange people near the hotel, probably because of the city, and the internet speed is quite satisfactory. Not very fast

We had a really nice time at the resort. The staff are very helpful and friendly and the food and service at the restaurant is excellent. The beds are very comfy and the resort is very quiet. My only critical feedback is that despite some new construction on the rooms, there were no large lights in the closet, we literally had to use our phone flashlights to see anything, the bathrooms are really small and are only equipped with minimal towels, and it’s a bit difficult and awkward to request a room refresh and clean towels.

The front desk staff are very proactive, kind, and extremely responsive. Their customer service is outstanding. They went above and beyond to help me enjoy my stay.
