Pros:

La taille du logement , la piscine et la climatisation

Cons:

L'emplacement de l'hôtel, loin de toute commodité et du restaurant pour le soir, on a dû se faire livrer des repas par nous même. Aucun service. On a pas pu faire notre lessive. C'est un logement, pas de service hôtelier.

Pros:

Bigger apartment with all possible facilities. Has a private pool other than the main pool. Living and dining areas are bigger and spacious. It has a good view and a good environment.

Cons:

Reaching this hotel is difficult because of the narrow and steep roads. The restaurant does not operate when guests are low.

Hotel with a great view
Pros:

Breakfast was amazing, fresh and big, they accommodated us with our dietary requirements. It was a bit far from town, but the view on the hill was with it.

Prima
Pros:

Super behulpzaam en lief personeel. Maken altijd tijd voor je voor een praatje en ze willen alles voor je doen om je blij te maken.
Uitgebreid ontbijt.
Gaaf uitzicht over de stad.
Leuke speeltuin + zwembad

Cons:

Het ligt wel heel erg afgelegen. Wij vonden dat juist erg fijn qua weg drukke stad. Je MOET een tuktuk hebben vanuit het stadscentrum. Als her regent is dit wel een uitdaging ivm de steile wegen.

Pros:

Goede prijs kwaliteit verhouding, alles was heel proper. Mooi uitzicht. Moderne kamer.

Cons:

Sommige zaken mogen wel eens aangepakt worden, ons gordijn viel van de rails, de lakens waren proper maar versleten. Het restaurant was 's avonds niet open. Kamers waren eerder gehorig.
