The hotel had stylish, big, and comfortable rooms with all the needed amenities, but the thin walls made it easy to hear neighbors. The service was a mix of tired and pleasant staff, with room for improvement in some areas. The location was fantastic for hot weather but faced challenges like mosquitoes. The dining options ranged from excellent to disorganized. Overall, a decent stay with room for enhancement.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms open up into the garden, providing a fantastic breeze while I relaxed inside. The TV, coffee/tea making facilities, and mini-fridge were a nice touch, all conveniently located close to each other. The service was top-notch, with a delicious experience and incredibly friendly and helpful staff. The location, though requiring reservations for seating, offered a park-like atmosphere near a golf course, creating a pleasant and well-maintained setting. The dining experience, while lacking variety, didn't surpass expectations, but the facilities were great overall.

My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were clean and well-equipped, with a comfortable king-sized bed and plenty of storage space.
