The hotel just didn’t seem to work. Check in was massively slow, the room was not ready when we arrived after check in time and the hotel amenities were just not great. Capital bar was ok but a little bit underwhelming, room service took forever and the room felt tired. One time room service even quizzed my logic for ordering. Wish I had stayed at the resort a day longer and got a 03:00 transfer.
