Our room was beautifully decorated and clean. The staff was very friendly. The food from the poolside restaurant was mediocre but I guess that’s to be expected. Also, our fridge was broken.

The hotel is a little dated, and it shows in small areas. BUT The staff are friendly and helpful, the dining options are very good, the beds are comfortable and the showers are fantastic (weird thing to point out, but I love a good shower situation). The surrounding area has both restaurants and shopping, and it’s in close proximity to some big malls (we used Uber mostly).
