Meriam was very gracious. I valued her service because she was always delivering service with a smile! She noticed immediately that I was waiting at reception and came to help me. Nur was also very kind. He extended my stay because I was running late back to the hotel. Special thanks to the FD Manager -- very much appreciate his upgrade to the same room that was our wedding suite!! Kind thanks to everyone also at the spa -- really loved the jacuzzi amenities!!
