Good stay but hotel needs maintenance.
Pros:

The property does take very good care of guests and make the stay very comfortable the location is also very good

Cons:

The property really needs to do an upgrade , asking that premium amount per night and never doing upgrades and maintained can not be acceptable . There is heavy maintenance needed at that hotel

Tolle Lage. Ein Besuch wert.
Pros:

Tolle Lage, nicht weit weg vom Flughafen. Zimmer sehr sauber und täglich gereinigt und abends ein turndown service. Minibar gut gefüllt. Zimmer geräumig und Terrasse mit direktem Blick auf den indischen Ozean. Frühstücksbuffet sehr reichhaltig und im Restaurant große Auswahl an Speisen. Hotelbar sehr gut ausgestattet. Personal sehr freundlich und hilfreich.

Cons:

Beim Frühstück laufen zu viel Personal herum und man wird leicht übersehen.
