The hotel exceeded all expectations. Very clean with a refreshing scent throughout the property but never overwhelming. The food was great, offering a fresh and diverse selection to suit every taste.

One of the best hotel experiences ever! We were being scammed by the taxi driver but we were rescued by the security staff of the hotel, a very helpful and friendly man. He really stood up for us. Additionally, we were offered a room upgrade and so we received access to the Club Lounge. Room was not big but modern and comfortable. The hotel staff is really doing everything they can to serve you.

    Breakfast was ok - but there could have been a much better selection of juices available. There was only x1 per day, I expected more from a 5 star hotel. Also at dinner they made me sit on a shared table which I didn’t want to do because they had closed off an area.
