Janine, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The place is nice, staff were great, the pool area is big and nice. The pool is not heated but large enough. The have a bar/eating area only serves breakfast. It is about 10-15 minutes walk to the main eating areas and also the mall
Carl, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

No hot water and spotty WiFi in the room was disappointing considering the prices charged for the room.
Shaun, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Super informed staff helping not only with hotel related services but also providing easy pointers and access to local activities and attractions. Pretty easy access to major hubs both by transport and on foot as everything is relatively closeby.Would have planned to stay longer knowing how confortable everything was.
Bomi, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This is a nice hotel for the price. Spacious and modern rooms with comfortable bed. Hotel also has convenient amenities like laundry machines. The only slight downside is the street it's on is quite busy and noisy, without much in the way of places to eat etc., but this isn't a big issue if you have a car.
