It was great befitting of the 3.5 star rating. Room was great, clean and comfortable. Service still needs improvement, very keen and friendly staff but still needs a bit more training. Credit does go to their enthusiasm.

I stayed six nights at the hotel. It is new. The bed was very comfortable and so were the pillows. I had a nice soaking tub in my room plus a walk in shower. The food in the restaurant was excellent. The service was wonderful. Everyone was always willing to help if I needed anything. I will definitely stay again.

There was only 1 person at the check in desk, she was very pleasant but overwhelmed with all the guests. There were at least 5 people that greeted us at the hotel entrance, but apparently she was the only clerk on duty.

Parking

The only complaint we have is that the parking is so far from the hotel and the parking is tricky when one vehicle is going up and another is going down.

Decent

The room is lovely. The place is great. Beautiful views. Very affordable. Breakfastwas average. However, i didnt like that the toilet was in shower. Like literally in the shower. It got wet when i took a shower. Very uncomfortable and untidy. Also didnt like that navigating the parking area from reception is hard.

The place is nice and clean but the guests there can be loud and act like they own the place even breaking the rules of no glass in the pool. They don’t care there are other guests in the hotel and make scenes. When we complained with the staff they even said there was nothing they can do like they allow these things to happen
