hotel location: ideal place away from the busy shops and if you prefer more solitude, accessibility is not an issue because it’s close enough to the best landmarks in town breakfast: superb service: warm and professional, staff are very accommodating on special requests cleanliness: good best feature: a functional safety box in your room to place all your gadgets and valuables, which gives you the peace of mind during tours.

Great 4.0

Good overall. The pool (not that clean) and gym (lots of machines that no longer work) could use some improvement. They even have a mangrove forest which was real nice! They don't do housekeeping daily unless you ask. Breakfast is great! Free coffee & tea but only at their dining area, not in each rooms. Great staff though.

nice hotel The staff were friendly and professional, from a smooth check‑in to quick responses to any small requests. Breakfast had a good variety with fresh options each morning, and common areas like the lobby and restaurant were tidy and welcoming.
