Luxurious and Spacious Room

My luxury club room on the 24th floor was very nice! It was spacious, beautifully decorated, and featured a amazing sea view. The bed was extremely comfortable, and I appreciated the walk-in shower and the fully stocked mini bar. The constant replenishment of tea and coffee pods was a nice touch, too.
