    The position of the property was very good. What I liked the most was the staff, particularly Azira and Dijan who were professional, kind, and supportive in helping us solving all the issues we had. They walked the extra-mile to help us.

    The staff were all wonderful. They assisted with our luggage since our flight didn’t leave until late in the evening. Also, because we stayed one night and returned for additional nights we were able to store our bags while on river cruise....
