Serenity at Hillside
I just love this place! From the time I arrived I was met with a big warm smile, my bags were wheeled in for me. I found the room immaculately clean and waiting for me, with everything provided to make one forget they're away from home. The service was fantastic.The location is within reach of a nice mall, I forget the name. Coming from a landlocked country I so much enjoyed the veiw of the see especially the sound of the waves in the stillness of the night. I am glad I picked you Hillside Guesthouse. Thank you staff.
