the super nice team. they brought our luggage up. i observed a pleasing daily cleaning and reset of our room when i returned after a long day. the location was convenient as well, close to the beach.
my refrigerator was not cooling well. the air conditioning was not working properly either. i noticed the front door staff always talking and joking rather than serving guests.

My room, a king room sea view club access, was not quite up to par. the bathroom fixtures felt a bit old, and the shower pressure was inconsistent. It interrupted my peace a few times!

A Satisfactory Stay

spacious roomhelpful staffcarpark viewless privacy
The room was quite spacious. The staff were helpful from the reception desk to the ground floor restaurant. I found the condition of the hotel represented the brand well.
My room faced the carpark. This was very disappointing (I would have preferred a sea view). I had to keep the curtain closed all day to have some privacy.
