A Comfortable Stay with Great Amenities

banana plantsindoor poollive entertainmentscratched furniture
the hotel grounds feature banana plants in the garden. i appreciated the access to three different pools, including an indoor option for varied swimming experiences. there is a cozy terrace bar with live entertainment each evening, like cabaret acts. it created a pleasant atmosphere..
the building felt somewhat old, evidenced by furniture with scratches. the single frame windows were hard to open, so there was some noise infiltration. furniture condition could be better to improve the overall room quality.
