"Had a lovely stay at Shangri-la, gorgeous unbeatable views from our room. Breakfast buffet was great, lots of options, was there mid week and low season so no lines and as an early riser beat the crowds. Only minor complaint and I’m splitting hairs, is a little bit of a walk uphill but seriously just a nicely appointed place at the Rocks. Entire staff was friendly and helpful. Experienced a beautiful sunset at the Altitude restaurant, highly recommend."
