I had a pleasant stay at this hotel with a nice, quiet, and clean room featuring a very comfy bed, although the rooms were quite basic. Being located at the back of the property in front of the gardens added to the peaceful ambiance. The service was friendly and helpful, but the lack of awareness about Wi-Fi passwords was a minor inconvenience. The beachfront location was fantastic, offering easy access to the city center and surrounding areas. The dining experience was very good, especially the grilled dishes. The facilities were excellent, enhancing my overall experience.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not-so-great experiences. The rooms, although spacious and clean, showed some signs of wear and tear. The service was helpful with requests but marred by noise issues. The location was fantastic, near the airport and beautiful beaches, but the noise from staff and guests was a downside. The dining experience was a hit-and-miss, and the facilities were decent.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were incredibly comfortable and reasonably priced, situated at the back of the property overlooking the beautiful gardens. I especially enjoyed the spaciousness and good natural light in the room, making my stay even more pleasant. However, some might find the service a bit slow, but the staff was always helpful when it came to organizing transportation. The location is fantastic, with plans for an extension out into the bay, promising an even more appealing stay in the future.

Staying at this hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms, despite being spacious and well-lit, were tucked away at the rear of the property, offering views of the gardens, making it a challenge for our large family. The service, though helpful at times, could be slow, especially with organizing taxis. The location, while convenient for transit stays due to its proximity to the airport, was also near the beach and had easy access to the city center and other areas. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with some aspects exceeding expectations while others fell short. The facilities were adequate but had some drawbacks.
