serene getaway

traditional dance evening snacks sunset cruise
The hotel did many small things to enhance my stay, including a private traditional dance at check-in. i also enjoyed the complimentary evening snacks and tea. a free sunset cruise with cultural entertainment provided a lovely experience. It's something i will remember fondly.
i found limited dining options outside the hotel, which required more planning for meals.
