Spacious room with good AC. Food was average. Scramle eggs not edible. Bathroom door handle broken with screws showing. It was temporarily fixed after informing receptionist. Please note that there is NO indoor or outdoor pool at the hotel as advertised. Children were very disappointed as this hotel was specifically chosen because of the pool.

Hotel was fine, staff were friendly and helpful. I gave an average review as I was disappointed that your website states that they have a swimming pool and this is the reason I booked this hotel over others. I was informed by the friendly staff that they do not have a pool but there is one locally that can be used for a fee. So a normal swimming pool!!! Very disappointed and has me questioning what else is incorrect on your site when I book

I like the nice comfy bed. Plenty of storage space and good supply of tea and coffee along with some biscuits. I didn't like the suspicious brown streaks on my bath towel and no plug in the sink.
Brown marks on bath towel. Quickly changed though.
