6/10 Good

The public areas are lavish but service levels for a 5 star international hotel were dreadful. It felt like a load of concessions rather than a joined up business. I was told I couldn’t sit in the bar area by the spa as I had bought my drink at another bar. That’s absurd. A few weeks of training could solve a lot of the problems.

The staff around the hotel do not acknowledge the guests. House keeping do not come around every day and i had to make a complaint to have my room cleaned, and only got a sorry from the manager. The restaurants and Japanese garden within the property were the best parts of my trip.
