The design of the hotel, the villa, the room, restaurants, and the pool is very stunning. Every corner you walk around the hotel never fails to impress how they care about little details. The service is beyond expectation. The hotel staffs remember every single guest staying at the hotel. They know what you like, they know what you did and they are always there to make your stay even more and more comfortable. The location itself of the hotel is absolutely gorgeous.
