Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms had all the basic facilities and were extremely comfortable, clean, and nicely arranged to cater to families and bus tours. The beds were cozy, and the en suites were effective with a shower, basin, and toilet. However, the dining options were a bit expensive, and the scent of BBQ from nearby tables could be a bit overwhelming at times.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and well-appointed with comfortable beds, but they could benefit from renovation and more frequent cleaning. The service was friendly and accommodating, which enhanced my stay. The location, though ideal for families with its play area and stunning views, may be challenging to reach due to the steep road leading to the hotel. The dining options were varied and satisfying, offering a decent value for the price paid.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with its very spacious balcony offering superb views, making it a perfect 'away from it all' retreat. The room was surprisingly able to accommodate more people than I expected, ensuring a comfortable stay even for 2 adults and 2 children. While the room was clean and cozy, it did show some signs of being outdated, but it was still a pleasant experience overall.
