Positive but not perfect

Had a lovely two nights stay there on a North-South journey. Place is stunning, nice river views (on the west-facing rooms) and lovely pool and garden. Large comfortable rooms and a nice spa/massage. Good location in the midst of the tourist shopping district.
However some shortcomings/inbalances prevent them from 4-star, 3-star is more appropiate now; while we were there already some repainting of hallways was in progress so the management DOES work on improving:
* The pool/gym dressrooms are quite shabby, looking like still unrepaired storm/flood damage
* Bathrooms ample-sized but ours really had problems: bath tub unusable (leaking built-in closure) and shower really delivering a suboptimal volume.
* B'fast nice and luxury with even an eggstation, but only 2 bread options (compared to lots of Asian food)
All in all recommended if one can get the right price.
