Honestly best luxury hotel I’ve ever stayed at !! The room was impeccable, the staff so lovely . The rooftop pool was by far the best part of my stay. Very clean and the smell around the Ardo is just pure magic ! You can purchase their exclusive room spary to take that ARDO experience home with you !! I’m so glad I did, the scent is just sublime

Our stay was enjoyable. But after I checked out of the hotel I discovered that I have left my electric toothbrush in the room. I emailed & phoned the hotel (twice on the same day & the next day), unfortunately non of the staff I have in contact with were helpful, nor did they willing to take the responsibility to assist, very disappointed.
