A very relaxing space. This hotel maintains a high sense of style, luxury, and comfort. The rooms facing the front are a little on the small side, but are well laid out and comfortable. Showers have excellent water pressure. Try to get a room on the other side though - these are a little larger, offering sweeping views of the pool and pagodas - probably worth any price difference. The breakfast buffet is over the top. The dinner buffet looked good too, but did not get to try. Also, if your schedule permits, catch the "Happy Hour" at the Spa - on offer 9-17:00 which offers a 50% discount. Be sure to leave yourself lots of time at checkout, as the already slow elevators become choked by the bellmen trying to get everyone's bags down. Would stay here again, hopefully to get some use of the fabulous pool area.
