Amazing Palace Experience!

great serviceexcellent conditionfine palacehelpful staff
I loved the great service I received . The hotel grounds are beautifully kept (a real treat for the eyes!). I found the whole place fine, which really added to the experience. The staff was helpful and they provided port and sweets in my room upon arrival, it was fantastic!
The main sitting area felt a bit small considering the hotel size, I noticed it.
