Just ok, but not the luxury experience promised.

Hotel was just ok. My ‘terrace’ room was next to some ghastly room with people walking through the ‘gardens’ to get to the terrace next door and whatever was going on inside. I asked to move and was clearly punished with a room with a terrace that faced into a dim internal courtyard. Not the luxury experience promised and so I won’t be back.
