Had an excellent stay, very friendly staff.
Special mention to Shunom on the front desk, friendly, helpful and always smiling, and not forgetting the Housekeeping Ladies.
Room was very spacious, cleans and well appointed. The staff were extremely courteous and helpful. We would like to thank Andrea for her great help with our enquiries and to the staff member who checked us in (sorry I don’t catch her name)
The Breakfast is amongst the best we’ve experienced at a hotel. Would 100% recommend this hotel. Thankyou.
