Beautiful property with very spacious & clean rooms, the only downside to the room was a lack of drawers/storage space for the 4 of us. The breakfast was great with a good selection & good fresh food. The swimming pool was nice but quite cold. All staff were very helpful & friendly.

Good location. It is a surprise that their property is so big with easy parking. Indoor and out door swimming pools. The spa is very nice and good price. Breakfast is at average. The restaurant is good. Our room is old and has bad smell. They should do renovation to the old rooms.

There is no coffee maker and kettle in the room. No tea, no coffee in the room for a supposedly 4 star hotel. No coffee machine for breakfast, had to ask waiters or waitress for cappuccino. Location is good.
