3/5
Pretty average hotel. Rooms are spacious and Cleanliness of the rooms is not the best. I don’t like the glass bottles of water served in rooms. Hotel was really quiet but I think that was because of the time of year I visited. Restaurant and the food was average. Service was good, however there were a few times I had to call reception to remind them of my requests. Lots of mosquitoes at the gym which needs to be addressed.

This has easily been my most pleasurable business accommodation to date. The food was great. An added bonus was the drinks next to the pool and the convenience of shops just a short stroll away. Definitely my top choice!
