The housekeeper kept our room very clean. They crafted beautiful towel art and scattered flower petals throughout the space. Mohammed, our favorite waiter, offered kind service. The animation team provided fun entertainment, including GuGu, Momo, Adam, and Maymona.

The minibar was not filled upon arrival. I had to request it.
