Balanced Stay
great quality food attentive staff polite staff cheap shampoo lengthy wait domestic flight
The main buffet restaurant consistently offered great quality food. There was a good variety at each meal. The staff were consistently attentive, polite, and helpful. They were also genuinely very friendly.
The products available are not those expected from a 5-star hotel. The shampoo and conditioner were cheap, of low quality, and the body lotion felt sticky. the transfer from the airport involved a lengthy wait.
