8.6/10 Excellent! (106 reviews)
Pros about this hotel is the staff are excellent and extremely friendly and helpful and always serve you with a smile(makes you feel good!) Cons about this hotel are that there is isnt much entertainment in the evenings, the service of drinks/food could be abit faster considering it is a small complex. Could have more (hot) food options for breakfast. But overall 8.5/10
