    Great capuccionos. Wonderful omelettes. I liked the fact that I could only pay for the items I ordered rather than having the buffet.

    I booked a quiet room & non smoking which I was given neither. Room next to car entrance and above resturant and smelt of smoke. Staff need to pay more attention to customers requests.

    Hotel very convenient and rooms comfortable.

    Security staff outside were inconsistent and at times rude. Hotel terribly noisy over the two nights of New Year’s Eve Guests talking outside their rooms well past midnight and a dog barking. But our last night was quiet and excellent and we were offered late checkout which we appreciated.

    Good rooms with two double beds excellent facilities and clean. Great breakfast and food in general. Inside staff were very good and accommodating.

    Night staff was rude at times. Access card could only take you to your own floor, very annoying when staying with family and you have yo take the stairs to their rooms

    Place was kept neat and welcoming. Area felt safe and hotel itself was very clean.

    The restaurant did not have most of the food that were on the menu. Limited choice of beverages and some are over priced. The stuff is very but also very slow, we waited 30mins for someone to take our order and when the cocktails came it was not what we expected and ended up going yo another restaurant outside the water while it was heavily raining.

    The hotel is quite chilled, affordable and not far from the mall/medical center.
