the gardens were indeed beautiful and well maintained.

the room felt small and dark, we had to keep the lights on all day. the bathroom lacked privacy because it didn't have a door. also, the room lacked a safe, so we worried about our valuables when we left.

I loved the gardens. They reminded me of a tranquil oasis. the pools were sparkling, and the landscaping was beautiful! the breakfast buffet had fresh juice. our king suite featured a well-equipped kitchenette.

the honesty bar was a nice touch, but some evenings it felt a little too quiet. i reminded me of a bit more music would have really helped the atmosphere.
