Good stay overall

delicious foodclean poolstray catsdismissive responses
The food served at breakfast is really delicious. I thought our kids enjoyed it a lot. the swimming pool is clean, great.
Stray cats roam around and the hotel does not care. I really tried to help them, but got dismissive responses. The staff seems like nobody cares about these animals and they are seen as a nuisance.

limited shuttleinattentive pool staff
I found several issues . The shuttle service was quite limited. It only leaves once in the morning and returns late in the afternoon. More options to other malls are needed. The pool staff could be more attentive. They rarely asked if I wanted a drink. This is not the service I expect from a high-end hotel.
