Upon arrival, one staff member was not very welcoming. Since we arrived early, our intention was to leave our bags and explore the area, but he did not explain the no-shoes policy and came across as rude, which was a bit uncomfortable.
That said, during check-in, the young lady who assisted us was extremely polite and took the time to clearly explain everything. Her professionalism made a great impression.
Overall, the hotel is beautiful, and aside from the initial interaction, we had a pleasant experience.
