The location is unbeatable since it is right next to the main entrance. Breakfast had a super variety of options to choose from each morning. The cave bar was great. The staff arranged a surprise birthday cake. It was a very lovely gesture from the hotel.
I thought the outdated rooms lacked modern amenities since there was no pool.
