The grounds were immaculate. I enjoyed the pool area, it provided a space to relax. The breakfast buffet had many choices, even some gluten free options.

The room did not have air conditioning or a fridge. I was also given a room in a separate building across the road. Two sets of security gates separated it from the main hotel.
