My recent anniversary celebration was very nice! we stayed in a junior suite and i loved it. the spa was super quiet. I found total relaxation there. the food was also excellent, seriously a treat.
I thought breakfast could improve. I noticed the cooked breakfast only came with half a mushroom and half a slice of black pudding. this is my only complaint, to be honest.
