My wife and I travelled to many distant corners of the world mostly individually for business and often as a family on vacation, but this resort beats everything we've experienced before in terms of level of service, exceptional kindness of the staff and overall cleanliness of the facility. This resort is an amazing place to stay at and relax, having an excellent range of restaurants to choose from, a lovely swimming pool arrangemnt and a cozy bar with a pool table and darts. But it is the staff that makes this entire place shine. By the way, there is also a free charming shuttle boat that takes you all day back and forth across the river and much closer to the centre of the city. Read less
