We book King deluxe so very happy with size of room. No A/C which seems to be the norm ! Was able to open balcony awnd window fr a nice cross breeze. Some of the staff were not suitable for the job (too young and inexperienced) the rest were very experienced / odd combo.

This property does not feel like a four-star hotel. It needs a complete renovation. There is no mini fridge in the rooms. The fixtures are old and need a deep cleaning. The gym is nice, but because it is next to the pool, all of the equipment is rusted. The staff was extremely helpful and nice, but the hotel needs a refresh.

Absolutely fantastic hotel but the staff were absolutely fantastic. Their attention to details was spot on. The breakfast staff & Mags I think that was her name, short lady with blonde hair in a suit was so efficient at her job. Overall I would love to stay here again

There is air conditioning only on the lobby floor, not in the rooms. We only had a small desk fan to plug in for air. The room was showing some wear also. The staff at the front desk were great, but our waiter in the bar was not.

Everything was excellent, food lication, friendly staff, the only disappointment was the bed, I would have preferred a standard double bed rather than two large bed put together, which made the bed uncomfortable and too big. Otherwise the room was a lovely size lovely ensuite was very clean.
