3/5
Liked: Good location, warm and friendly staff especially Ruth (The Palm) and Melizza (front desk). Amaaaaazing bed.
Watch out: For the price, we didn’t think it was worth it. Plus you have to make reservations to have dinner at the restaurants which can’t accommodate half of the amount of guests.
