During my visit the hotel provided free henna which was very great! It was with the company Finnese and Katelyn did it for us. The henna turned out very cute and nice and I liked it a lot. I think that if you visit it is worth to definitely get your henna done!!

Katelyn was very warm and friendly with beautiful henna designs. She did my daughters a beautiful design and they were really excited and happy and taking photos to show off the designs to their friends. Highly recommend. One of my daughters also got face paint which was super pretty.

Enjoyed our time at the Ritz Carlton. The family had lots of fun sitting by the beautiful pool and my daughter enjoyed playing splash pong with Sandro. He has an amazing personality and really elevated the poolside experience for kids!!!!!
