My stay at the hotel was cozy and well catered for by the staff with regular top-ups in the rooms. However, the lack of two curtains and limited English channels on the satellite TV were slight drawbacks.
I loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were beautifully designed with a cozy feel, but there were a few areas that could be improved. The service was exceptional, except for a minor hiccup at breakfast time. The location was a real gem with exciting activities nearby, and the dining experience left me with mixed feelings. The facilities were great overall, offering a comfortable stay at a good value for money.
