separate sitting roomgenerous spaceconvenient bus stop
the room featured a sitting room separate from the bedroom. the bathroom had generous space and two separate sinks. i also appreciated the convenient bus stop for airport transport located just outside.
the bar area seemed more appealing to younger locals than hotel guests.

The breakfast had plenty of variety. the location was excellent. The town center was just across the road (very convenient!).
the pool was not very deep, so swimming was not ideal.

Really good Suite Experience

separate entrancejacuzzi bathroomcomfortable bedroomlimited parking
I booked a luxury suite and found it ready upon arrival. The suite was accessed through a separate entrance. This gave an additional sense of privacy. The regency suite offered great views of the bay and included a bathroom with a jacuzzi and television. A very comfortable bedroom completed the suite.
I noticed limited parking availability at the hotel. The underground park operates on a first come first served basis. Parking cost an additional fee per day.

Breakfast was of good quality. The hotel has a collaboration with an asian restaurant next door. The breakfast kitchen is managed by the hotel itself, which makes for a great personal experience.

The hotel features a pretty atrium courtyard. A small leisure pool is in the basement. This area appears well maintained and the water is warm. The hotel provides tea and coffee in the room.

The location was perfect on the beach and near the town center.
The hotel was run-down to me. The rooms seemed dated, and my breakfast room had a very dilapidated look. I could see insulating foam under the windows. Staff covered huge gaps with tablecloths.
