Beds were comfortable but a little too firm for me. Bathrooms were very well equipped and the water was hot, could have been better water pressure.
Super spacious, lovely staff all round, great spa. Cant fault for the money. They called us after we left to tell us we left something behind which we then picked up before we left town. Awesome service.
