The staff. Abdel went out of his way to get my sister extra chocolate for her birthday and found more of the delicious herbal tea for me. Our waitress during brunch was attentive without being intrusive. The food was fantastic. Cory gave me the best deep tissue massage that I have ever had, and tips for home stretches to help my back.

Room was great and upgraded. Excellent turn down service. Food at cafe was excellent. Spa experience needs to be improved- quiet areas aren’t quiet, bring your swimsuit because they don’t tell everyone to do that and you miss out on amenities and massage therapist was heavy handed despite corrections.
