    with regards to staffing the management was awesome and the people at the front desk too, Rafiq & Karim were great hosts and made everything comfortable, the only downside to me would be the staff who work the outside beach restaurant, little but too moody considering the location. staff 5/10 location 10/10 comfortability 9/10 flexibility 10/10 management 10/10 Great stay, would just improve restaurant staffing attitude towards guests.
