Loved view of water & accommodations.
Happy hour crew need a little more training. When bringing apps to table, also bring flatware & napkins. Tables had remnants from previous guests that were not removed & tables needed to be wiped. It was not busy so no reason to not be clean.
Still enjoyed & would highly suggest to stay here.
From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, we were taken care of by all of the wonderful staff. In particular Mr Han who deserves a special mention as he simply went above & beyond.
Thank you to you all & to Mr Han in particular.
The staff at breakfast also deserve a special mention as they too were really attentive.
