We spent five nights at this hotel, and experienced the BBQ by the poolside both Sunday and Wednesday. It is a nice hotel but with great potential. The service varied a lot from excellent and smiling from some staff to almost non-existing from others. One example, it shouldn't take one hour to serve a coffee, or 50 minutes to serve... More

I was traveling with two other people and our triple room was very spacious, with a king and a twin bed, both fitted with mosquito nets. The twin bed's net was rather close-fitting, requiring the occupant to either squish herself down into the middle of the bed or lay normally with the net on her face. There's an air conditioning...
