Over priced. Air conditioning did not work. Front desk denied it was not working. After 3 trips to front desk a portable unit was provided. Restaurant staff was not helpful, food was adequate, but uninspired. Room had hot pot, but no coffee, tea or cups were provided. .

The hotel is in desperate need of a full renovation. I would say is a 2 stars hotel, definitely not 4. The walls are thinner than paper. You can hear everything that’s happening in the room next, above and under you. It was almost impossible to rest with so many kids running in the hallways, yelling and screaming and the parents or the hotel staff wouldn’t do nothing about it. The price per room VS what you get is totally a ripoff. The breakfast buffet was very poor. I wouldn’t stay here again.

Great views, spacious rooms. Staff generally gracious but seem tired at times. I liked that we were able to text the front desk via Whatsup to help us get taxis from downtown to get back to hotel even past 10pm. Food prices at the hotel restaurant are very reasonable but not the best. The breakfast selection was good. You’ll have to take a taxi to get to and from town. The hotel shuttle service (taxi that they call and pay for you) runs 4x per day (10am, 6pm to town; 12pm, 8pm from town back to hotel).

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The management of this hotel left much to be desired. The recurring issue with room keys was not only inconvenient but frustrating, as it disrupted the flow of my stay. Having to make repeated trips to the front desk just to access my room was certainly not what I expected from an establishment of this caliber. Furthermore, the absence of a basic amenity like ice for drinks was perplexing. It's a standard expectation for hotels, and the oversight gave the impression of a lack of attention to detail. The limited food options, coupled with the absence of a diverse menu, fell short of the standards typically associated with a 4-star rating. The overall experience left me questioning the hotel's commitment to providing a comfortable and enjoyable stay for its guests.

The hotel was a bit run down and very bare-bones. There was an electric kettle in our room with no mugs, tea or instant coffee. The carpet in our room had many stains. The pool was rather disappointing - the steam room was broken, and one had to check out towels and return them to the lobby (not in the same area as the pool.) The pool is quite small and barely heated. The staff was fine - did not really go out of their way to be welcoming or helpful.
