Firstly I would like to say a BIG thank you to Farida the duty manager, she is a star, went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and hassle free. She also suggested few things which made our trip even more memorable. The views from our suite was incredible especially at night and we enjoyed our stay. Although the property can go with some modernisation but the service and help provided was exceptional.
