Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Everyone was top notch especially our room attendant Faisol! He brought sunshine to us everyday with his winning smile and superior service! HOWEVER, Sandra, our Room Steward was awful. FriI’m the moment we arrived she had a very bad attitude. She was condescending, rude and laughed when we attempted to ask questions. She should not be in her position and I won’t hesitate next time to ask for a replacement. No excuse. Plus she checked on us twice in a week.
