Upon arriving, someone will usher you to your suite (after offering you a welcome drink and cold towel) and help you check in without leaving your room—so imagine the convenience that gives after hours of traveling. Any request is just a phone call away, and staff are greeting you with a smile every time you pass by one in the whole resort.
