We
recently
stayed
here
and
the
service
had
some
slight
issues,
some
policies
did
not
make
sense
and
were
not
enforced
with
other
guests,
hence
the
3
stars
instead
of
5.
More
on
that
later.
However,
it
is
an
amazing
hotel.
It
was
wonderfully
decorated.
A
beautiful
lobby
and
the
rooms
are
gorgeous
with
views
of
the
city
as
well.
The
breakfast
was
very
delicious
although
the
coffee
had
a
mint
kind
of
flavor
that
I
wasn't
used
to.
The
issues:
The
first
issue
was
upon
check-in.
the
front
desk
rep
was
hesitant
to
allow
us
to
check
in
without
passports.
Nowhere
on
the
website
does
it
state
that
passports
are
required.
They
did
allow
us
to
check
in
after
verifying
our
i.d.s
instead
but
it
was
after
a
lot
of
back
and
forth.
At
this
point,
the
rep
was
becoming
unfriendly
and
cold
to
us.
At
no
point
did
we
lose
our
temper,
we
were
trying
to
be
just
as
friendly
and
simply
questioning
their
policies
when
it
was
not
presented
to
us
upon
booking.
The
next
issue
had
to
do
with
the
rooms
and
the
number
of
guests
per
room.
Only
4
guests
are
allowed
in
each
room.
We
understood
that
policy,
so
we
booked
2
rooms.
Originally,
we
were
going
to
have
4
guests
in
each
room
but
2
of
our
family
members
could
not
make
it
so
2
guests
in
one
room
and
4
in
the
other.
For
some
reason,
the
cashier
found
issue
with
this
as
3
of
the
guests
were
minors.
We
clarified
that
there
would
be
an
adult
in
each
room
to
supervise.
After
some
back
and
forth,
the
cashier
allowed
it
and
moved
on.
Another
issue
was
that
the
celebration
package
I
had
booked
was
no
longer
available.
The
hotel
had
contacted
me
via
WhatsApp
that
morning
and
advised
this.
They
had
stated
that
the
family
package
would
be
added
instead
of
the
celebration
package
as
a
free
upgrade.
They
asked
if
that
was
ok
and
I
responded
on
WhatsApp
of
course!
Who
wouldn't
want
an
upgrade?
Well,
when
we
were
checking
in,
the
rep
advised
the
package
we
had
booked
was
no
longer
available
and
we
would
have
to
pay
a
large
fee
to
complete
check-in
or
we
wouldn't
have
any
of
the
perks
advertised.
I
advised
the
above,
that
on
WhatsApp
we
had
already
discussed
this.
The
rep
made
a
phone
call
to
confirm.
After
another
wait,
the
rep
finally
confirmed
we
could
go
ahead
but
there
would
still
be
a
small
upgrade
charge.
Not
what
was
advised
originally,
but
at
that
point,
we
just
wanted
to
check
in
and
agreed.
The
room,
view,
room
service,
and
food
were
all
amazing.
The
only
other
issue
was
at
the
pool.
They
advised
children
are
not
allowed
in
the
spa.
Kind
of
strange
as
every
other
hotel
we've
ever
stayed
at
that
allowed
this.
Other
guests
were
taking
their
kids
in
the
spa
with
no
issues.
No
one
said
a
word.
So,
we
let
our
kids
join
us
for
family
time.
Only
a
few
minutes
later,
an
employee
immediately
came
to
stop
this.
We
understand
the
policy,
it
was
just
a
bit
cold
that
others
were
allowed
to
and
we
were
not.
Overall,
the
stay
felt
a
bit
unfriendly
with
all
of
these
issues.
Instead
of
a
5-star
experience,
it
just
felt
cold,
even
with
the
amazing
amenities
and
vibes.
In
the
future,
we
may
stay
again
but
if
another
more
friendly
hotel
was
available,
we'd
definitely
stay
with
them
instead.
