We loved the hotel's prime location right on the esplanade, which was just a short walk to all the attractions, restaurants, and the lagoon. The cleanliness of the facilities was impressive, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, providing great local insights and support with tours. the public kitchen was well-equipped and maintained, making it easy to prepare meals.

The location was fantastic, just steps from the waterfront. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel at home. The facilities were great, with clean rooms and comfortable common areas. The pool was refreshing, and having two kitchens made cooking convenient.
