Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a spacious room with a large bed, TV, minibar, and bathroom. The room cleanliness was a bit concerning with dirty fingernails on the carpet, mold in the bathroom, and tired, dirty furniture. While the room was adequate, the lack of extra activities was a downside.
The hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms, ideal even for families with bigger kids. While in need of renovation, the room size was decent, though lacking any luxurious touches. The service staff seems preoccupied with their phones, especially around the pool and Spa areas, and may not meet the standards expected of a 5-star hotel. The location, though slightly worn, provides ample space without feeling crowded, offering Fisjh Spa services. The dining options are diverse, including a variety of foods served buffet style. The facilities are satisfactory overall, with room for improvement.
The hotel exceeded my expectations with its spacious rooms and friendly service. The location was ideal for a peaceful getaway, although the dining options could be improved. Overall, a great value for money stay.
