lovely stay

friendly staff great spa beautiful view

The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The spa facilities were great! the upper deck restaurant food was so good, i ended up eating there every night of my stay. the view from the terrace was beautiful. the decor inside was light and attractive. I would definitely return.

The room was too small, and there was no ac. I was given a fan, but it only blew hot air around. this wasn't adequate, as my room was on the top floor.
