Peter, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property was clean and well furnished. Staff were very attentive and accommodating of our needs. They truly made our experience enjoyable as they were very welcoming and bubbly! The back of the hotel is facing the sea which has a lovely view and the front of the hotel has a city view which provides the best of both however, there was a lot of traffic at the front making it difficult and unsafe to cross roads. The restaurant in the hotel was delicious and had a great variety of food including different cuisines. They do need to upgrade their iron and provide an ATM or cash exchange service instead of travelling to the city to exchange money. It was advertised that a full length mirror would be available upon request but this was not the case. Overall, the hotel was lovely - especially the staff but some of the services/facilities need upgrading.
