Really good Dining and Service
elegant interior friendly staff balanced flavor
I enjoyed a special birthday celebration at this wonderful venue. The interiors were elegant. The furniture looked vibrant and colourful. The food was delicious, especially the tender beef and fresh fish, prepared perfectly by Master Chef Andre. Angeline, Emmie, and Ellie provided excellent care with warm and friendly hospitality. Franchezca, the Pastry Chef de Partie, created a colourful birthday dessert.
The hotel staff seemed overloaded during the weekend in the restaurant and spa.
