The balcony overlooking the waterfront was lovely. Unfortunately we had a problem when ordering drinks in the bar before dinner and found both the male and female bartenders unprofessional, and the female bartender was extremely rude.

My only critique isn’t the fault of the staff but being American, I’m used to waiters waiting on you. Discovered via traveling Australia and New Zealand that it’s more customary to order from the bar, have your meal delivered and no service after that. When you want a drink etc you have to get it yourself.

Business trip

The hotel check in staff are super lovely, the rooms are great and the beds are so comfortable. I have stayed here for business on many occasions The staff in the restaurant and management need lessons in professionalism, customer service and maturity. Very unhappy with the service and also how they treated another team member (bullies)!
