Excellent Spa and Comfortable Stay

The spa area impressed me. It features a steam room, a sauna, a jacuzzi, and a large swimming pool. I also appreciated the available fitness equipment (although i didn't use it).
The wi-fi signal in some areas was quite poor. I found this inconvenient as i needed to stay connected for work, but overall i had a good experience.
