the reception was so kindly, they do care. my room, was a twin room, was always super clean with daily room service. breakfast had varied cakes, i found such a treat.
my room was very small, it caused slight discomfort. the hotel lacked a bar, a place for a nightcap. the main road caused noise, some nights sleep were restless.

The staff was genuinely amazing! they were super friendly and always ready to help and the rooms had excellent air conditioning. i really appreciated the pool area. It was a great spot to relax after a long day.
the location wasn't ideal, the hotel is on a busy roundabout. this meant i needed taxis to get into town, i had to walk along a busy road to catch my ride.
