The staff were super friendly, helpful and respectful. It was the best hotel that I ever stayed in, in my whole life! The breakfast is excellent and the cleaning staff are very hard working. If this hotel had apartments, I would rent from them in a heartbeat! This was the best hotel experience I have ever had by far.

Recent stay

There was no kettle in the room, and I wa a bit confused with regards to where I could get a coffee or not. The chair in the room was very flimsy and bendy, making it difficult to sit on, otherwise all good.

Rooms were very clean and in good condition, breakfast was nice and a good choice menu. Only thing poor was the pool, it was the size of an average jacuzzi, there is no bar so no relaxing by the pool with a coctail.

The hotel is very nice, appreciated the little extras in the room with comfortable bed and pillows (lacked a clock in the room). The area is challenging to get to attractions and we paid a lot on taxis and tuk tuks. Staff were friendly and the hotel was very clean and modern.
