The location, size of the suite/room. The dining experience. The F&B team were attentive and super. Our b/f was packed for Safari in time. We didn't have it during the Safari but were accommodated for the breakfast after our Safari.

“We had an aawesome stay.”
We were there to attend a religious event. We attended the evening program, and by early morning we were exhausted. The hotel management was kind enough to permit us to stay and rest in our room beyond the checkout time.
