Everything was just great - the staff, the food and the room was just big and clean on the daily basis what was not even needed it cos we didnt spend much time inside. The swimming pool is good and an extra that we have access to the 2nd swimming pool on the same group, different hotel. The SPA was an extra for the coldish days.

The hotel is really good for the price. The pool area is very nice and the view from our room which was quite high up with a pool and ocean view was stunning. The building itself is a little old and sound proofing could be better but overall we enjoyed our stay

Amazing view from room great helpful staff
The hotel is short distance from downtown; walking or by cab. We walked into town and took cabs back. The front desk staff are so helpful. The breakfast buffet is very very good. There is an abundance of places to eat dinner near the hotel. Great little kitchenette area with fridge. If you are a hotel pool person this hotel is great.

Will stop there again
All good, I used the hotel to explore island and was close to transport routes local buses, tourist buses and quick to get a Bolt cab.
Had cooking facilities in room, so I didn’t have to wait around for breakfast (or get up early on chill days) Sea view from balcony was good.

The hotel staff were incredibly friendly, and I am very grateful for that. They even allowed me to have a late check-out. The room was spacious, but unfortunately, it had no view — just a view of the parking lot. I absolutely loved the gym and the indoor swimming pool, and I also found the breakfast to be amazing! Overall, I had a great time and would definitely stay again.

My 2 rooms were on the ground level next to the lobby. It was noisy until late at night. The room, furniture, kitchen and bathroom were all very old. The shower was in a bad shape. The restaurant and dinner buffet had very low quality food for fairly high prices. Much nicer restaurant are all around the hotel with good food and good services. The hotel is located in a great area though.
