Throughout the year, various peak travel times make the Shangri-La resort booked closer to capacity which could diminish the tranquillity for some guests. Larger guest volume also means that many of the public amenities become busier – such as the swimming pool. If you’re interested in visiting during an off-peak season, be sure to speak with hotel staff for possible options.

If you’re in the guest room and need Wi-Fi, it could be spotty at times. The complimentary Wi-Fi is located in each guest rooms and there is a 24-hour business centre for use in the event the room Wi-Fi isn’t up to speed.

The location of the hotel on the canal makes it a beautiful venue, but the water location also makes it prone to recreational activities such as Jet skis – some guests might find the constant hum of the jet skis to be a bit irritating at times.
