    Reception staff incapable

    The hotel rooms are really nice but the reception staff is unfortunately so incapable that they were until today not able to send me the invoice for my room to hand it in for reimbursement at my company. The receptionist had put into the invoice a fictive address in Kazachstan (?). When I asked to put in the same company address in Germany as my collegaue who checked out 1 hour before, it was technically not possible for her. She promised to send it to me by email with the correct address. However, nothing happened. A reminder email from my side led also to no reaction. Therefore I am until today still without any invoice for my room.

    The accommodations/amenities & staff service are NEXT LEVEL. Gorgeous pool area and nice gym/spa. Yethzabel at the front desk provided exemplary service and can accommodate any request. Can’t wait to be back in April!
