Great Holiday at Shangri-La

We had a great stay at the hotel. Though there were a few issues with the room , i.e the safe was not working , the room bell did not work and the bathroom had issues, however the hotel staff was prompt in taking care of these issues. They also upgraded our room category. The staff was very warm and hospitable and took good care of us. We had a great time at the resort. The activities in the resort are quite interesting and the facilities like Gym , Pool etc are exceptional. We will refer this hotel to our friends and family and would love to go there again in the future.
