We booked this hotel for a 2-night NYE romantic getaway.
Check in: We arrived around 6.30pm and had to get the receptionist's attention to check us in. She made no eye contact whatsoever and didn't smile at all. She went through the check in procedure but didn't ask us any questions or offer us any advice on local attraction or even hotel facilities such as the spa. Also, I found it very unusual that we were asked to pay in full up front. In 99% of hotels you pay your bill upon checkout. Also, we went out for a jog the next morning and when we came back, we were asked to pay our room service bill from the previous night which I find absolutely ridiculous.
Room: The room is quite nicely laid out - I would rate it as a decent 3-star room. Certainly nothing exceptional.
Maid service: The maid came to make up our room while we were away but she literally did the bare minimum - threw our bed sheets back on the bed and left. She didn't even bother changing the sheets or replacing our towels with fresh ones. She didn't even fold the towels. She also left a piece of rubbish outside our room door.
Spa: The spa was excellent, really nice and cosy and clean. However I ordered two fresh grapefruit juices and we got juice from a carton.
Bar / food: We ordered food to our room but the guy at the bar messed up the order and didn't bring us what we wanted to my girlfriend went downstairs to complain. To be fair, they replaced the food and knocked the room service fee off o
