The reception ladies were lovely when i checked in. the room was good value for money and its location is great. all four adult males on our golf trip were impressed. your staff and amenities are top notch. I will return for sure.

I paid a considerable amount for an apartment. i found it at the back of the building. It felt a bit like a dungeon. the apartment had only one air con in the living room, and it did not work great, so rooms got hot even with fans on.
