Friendly helpful staff greeted me from the reception desk to the restaurant/bar area. My room & the pool area were very clean as well.
The staff were really nice and helpful. The room was really nice as well, had an amazing view. Also loved the pool and gym area. The location of the hotel is great, can get around easily. Definitely will be booking again in the future.
