I wanted to formally email to say a huge thanks to you and the entire hotel team at Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar for the outstanding delivery and general support on the recent International Press Launch. I can honestly say that despite the numerous challenges that we encountered along the way, you were always professional, courteous and best of all, you found solutions.

That was my first stay at an Anantara hotel and I hope it won't be my last, the personality of the brand and the staff training is as good as it gets and as comfortable as the hotel may be, the staff make it what it is and bring it to life - congratulations, you seem to have got that entirely right.
