Pros:

The breakfast was good even the location of hotel is in good place.

They didn't accept online payment. Also I didn't like how the rooms are the side of the road so during night you still hearing the motorbike and vehicles passing.

It's a good central location and reasonably good value for money. The swimming pool is great.
Pros:

I've stayed here many times. It is very convenient for me and I always like the vibe. The pool is great and the environment is great.

Cons:

It's the first time I've had a child with me. There are no catering options for children which was very disappointing.

Pros:

Fantastic ambience and nature. Great location, good food, friendly and very helpful staff. Swiming pool was really great. Lots of facilities and things to do at the premises. Highly recommend.

Cons:

At the road side, a bit noisy in the weekend from the road and bars around. But still worth it.

Easter 🐣 holiday well spent
Pros:

The Easter set up for the kids, the managers are going we got gifts as a compensation for the egg hunt . some staff are really friendly and helpful 🙏

Cons:

Good location and friendly staff. However, the property could improve on cleanliness and would benefit from some renovations. The restaurant payment process was a bit inconvenient, as payment is requested after every order consolidating bills for payment at checkout would be much better for guests.
