Excellent Stay

spacious roomgood selectionaged room
The pools were big and the lounge area accommodated families with children. The room I stayed in was spacious. There was also a good breakfast selection. I noticed a pitch and putt area for golfing.
The room was on the third floor, and it looked aged and needed some refurbishment. The balcony chair and railings were filled with birds droppings. This situation needs to be addressed.
Service

Email inquiries received prompt replies from staff, specifically Daniel, Naza, Lily, and Fabio. Staff were attentive to clearing tables quickly during breakfast. They also demonstrated politeness to the guests. These points are quite appreciable.
