The service was impeccable, with a very accommodating and friendly staff. The dining options were decent, but there were limited choices for breakfast. Overall, a stay with good and not-so-good aspects.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the positive side, the service was top-notch with friendly staff who made sure everything was in order. However, the location had some drawbacks as it was noisy late at night due to activities by the pool.

The dining options were limited but the hotel has a secure and convenient location close to essential amenities.
