It cannot be described. We were 11, 8 adults and 3 children (12, 3, 1).From the time we entered to the time we left, it was WOW! If the hotel was awesome from the view, facilities and the landscaping perspective and you thought things cannot get any better, they prove you wrong with service standards that even airlines should learn from. If Singapore Airlines and Emirates are standards of excellence, Amirandes service even beats that.
