Summary: I cannot rave our trip and the hotel enough: we were treated like royalty every second, I’ve never experienced service like this, and I travel often. Well, well worth the price. Special shout out to Andrew who was our server for our last supper. SO kind and funny, helped us piixk a perfect supper, so attentive. Unfortunately I didn’t get names for all the staff we interacted with, but seriously… amazing across the board
