i arrived early, and they accommodated me with early access to my room, a good start. on returning from a walk, i found cava and chocolates, a welcome touch (i enjoyed that). i used the rooftop pool area on my first day, a nice spot to relax.

A minor issue was the lack of complimentary bottled water daily. Only received one upon arrival and had to request more later.
