The staff was SO nice and polite. They gave information about live evening music. The food was AMAZING!!! They even catered for celiac needs, a HUGE help. The on-site manager was amazing, and staff followed his lead.
The hotel is a little way out of town. Buses were unreliable, so taxis or a hire car were necessary to go anywhere. I suffered with several mosquito bites. It is not a five star hotel.
