Those rooms, and those gardens, and those pools, and that osmanthus, and that Lake — all superlative adjective-taxing though they most certainly are — are still somehow not the headline. That distinction belongs to the staff, whose professionalism, precision, perspicacity, and palpable warmth put the sheen on every one of this Leaf's five stars. Speaking of stars: a constellation of staff members beamed incessantly during our three-night stay. There were too many deeds and too many doers, alas, to name individually, but we would like to extend special appreciation to Robert and Randy for their personal efforts to enhance our stay. Finally, our sincerest gratitude and brava! to our party's Polaris, Vicky Yang, for her luminosity.
